A member asked:
If i sit in the sun for 10 minutes per day in regular clothes.... is this going to optimize vitamin d?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
About 20 minutes: daily w/ as little clothing as possible is recommended if ok w/your doc. Season of the year and location also matter. Best to get your D3 level checked by doc and supplement as needed. Peace and good health.
