A member asked:
If i put sunblock cream (spf 50 or 100) on my skin and expose my body to the sun, will i get vitamin d normally?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: When the sun's uv b rays hit out skin, we turn inactive d to active vitamin d. So if you are wearing sunscreen that blocks those rays, then your body will not perform this process and you could be at risk for vitamin d deficiency. You can get a blood test to determine your vitamin d levels.
