- elric 6y agoWonderful. I guess all we have to do now is relocate the entire human population to areas with sufficient (but not too much) midday sun. Thanks. Snark aside, that's obviously not practical advice at higher latitudes or during darker or rainier months.

- dundarious 6y agoI can't find the source anymore, but it's my understanding that north of DC you need to supplement 2000IUs or 50mcg nearly half the year, and north of Mexico during Nov-Jan, as the angle of the Earth prevents adequate D production. Not to mention I often don't manage to get 15-30mins of mid-day sun, so I supplement all year round.
