A member asked:

How many mins of direct sunlight do you need dly to stay healthy and keep vit d in proper range? mine is always 7 for ex or low wo vit dose to help

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Sunlight: Never stay too long in the sun without skin cream. Vitamin D 1000 units a day is available over the counter at your pharmacist at very low cost. My D is less than $10 to purchase and the bottle has 100 tablets.
