A member asked:
Should you take vitamin d in the summer even when you get enough sun?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Because vitamin d is fat soluble and you can't keep your level normal if you start and stop your replacement. Plus, people generally don't have sufficient sun exposure to obtain the same levels you can with replacememt.
