These parts of your body make the most vitamin D

These parts of your body make the most vitamin D

Of course you protect your skin well on days with high sun power. But we also need the vitamin D that the sun so generously shares with us to stay healthy.

You read and hear quite a lot about it, about vitamin d. More people than ever are deficient. And sometimes that can be solved or supplemented with supplements. The most important, natural source of vitamin D is natural sunlight.

How about it

How much vitamin d is produced in the skin under the influence of sunlight varies from person to person. It depends on your age, the amount of pigment in the skin and how long the skin has been exposed to the sun.

Face and hands

The places that make the best vitamin D are your face and hands. You can even make it in winter, so take those gloves off every once in a while. Every day fifteen minutes to half an hour outside, with face and hands in the light, is enough. In fact, the longer in the sun does not mean the more production of this vitamin!
