If you have a healthy diet, get enough sun exposure, and are physically active, you don't necessary need supplements like vitamin d or c.
The fact is, most people's diets are shit, especially in America where people avoid vegetables and fruits like the plague.
- metalliqaz 6y agoVitamin D is mostly not found in fruits and vegetables.
- hombre_fatal 6y agoTheir first sentence has the full prescription which includes sunlight. Sunlight gives you more than enough. It's a lot easier to get sunlight when you're not cooped up in a cubicle all day.

- nytgop77 6y agoHow much sun exposure is enough? Lot of sources say 10-40 minutes. But nothing is said about how much skin should be exposed for that duration. (recommendations that are so vague are dismissed as useless) .. and since i'm venting, diet experts use formula "1 cal = 1 kilo cal". why oh why?
- nradov 6y agoThe amount of sun exposure necessary depends on latitude, time of day, weather, skin color, diet, etc. There's no simple answer. Probably the best approach for most people is to get a periodic blood test and then adjust sun exposure and supplementation up or down as needed.

- jansan 6y agoIt is interesting that in Iran the ratio of people with Vitamin D deficiency is high compared to other countries. Probably behaviour (clothing, staying at home) plays quite a large role.
- jansan 6y agoAlso, locking people into their homes does not help with Vitamin D levels. I am really suprised that this is not being discussed more.
