Can we get vitamin d by standing in sunshine while wearing clothes or do we have to stand naked in sun?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Skin exposure: Although certainly standing naked in the sun would be expected to provide excellent skin exposure for vitamin d production, social limitations typically limit this :o) normal skin exposure (arms, legs, face) will suffice.
