Vitamin D supplement

unity · 09-11-2008, 12:48 PM

Was reading the back of a Vitamin D supplement and it reads: "Sunscreens also block the body's ability to make vitamin D from sunlight."

Thought it was just intriguing to read.

Where are you purchasing the Vitamin D supplements?

The bottle I have does't have the statement. (Carlson's) I ordered 2 more bottles free from that site I had posted but they didn't list what ingredients besides D3 so they might get trashed when I get them.

I'm not a vitamin taker, but if we offered Vitamin D, it sure would make for good conversation. Display on the front counter and I bet we would have tons of questions. D-UP.

I'm not much for Vitamins either. Remember Vitamin D is labeled improperly it's really a steroid (the good kind!). Vitamin D is actually a Dietary Supplement. I do believe in supplements only when you can't get it from your diet or lifestyle. I"m currently working to get my Vitamin D levels to much higher levels. I'm attempting to increase my tanning to twice a week and taking 1000 IU's once a day for 5 months to see if I can get my levels into the highest range. That being said I only managed to get time to tan once this week again!! I'll get there. :)

Ok... question:

We know a tan is a way the body regulates Vitamin D production. So is there any evidence that a person who is Vitamin D diffident takes longer to tan that one that is not? Maybe Don would know.

It would be interesting to take several identical twins. Get them so they contrast greatly in Vitamin D levels and then tan both and see if one tans quicker.

It something I always had a theory about.

I have identical twins working for me! How would I get their D levels so different to try this?

Might be a little hard since they are already tanning. They would have to tan the same schedule, beds, etc. One could take a supplement, the other not. Same lotions also.

I think it may work better with people who have no existing tan and are likely deficient.

These girls are also latino and tan beautifully. We might need some real whities.
