How do miners deal with the lack of vitamin d from the sun?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Supplements: Sunlight activates the production of vitamin d in the skin. Vitamin d isn't found naturally in very many foods, although milk is fortified with vitamin d. For people who don't spend much time in the sun, the only way to get enough vitamin d is to take dietary supplements.
