A member asked:
Is it possible to make vitamin d from the florida yearly sun?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Active vitamin d is produced in the body after exposure to sunlight.If you live in south florida you have tropical weather pretty much all year and if you live in north or central fl you have subtropical weather conditions. This should be enough as long as you have most of your body exposed to the sun for at 15-20 minutes. Check this video i made about vitamin d: http://otwithmd.Com/vitamin-d/.
