[QUOTE="viviennem, post: 329833, member: 31282"] Yes. Expose your arms and legs for 10 minutes a day on sunny summer days (what?) and you'll get enough to build up a store. However, even if you ran about naked :shock: on sunny winter days, at this latitude you wouldn't get enough to be of any use. Also, as we get older we get more inefficient at manufacturing it in the [b]cholesterol[/b] under our skin. So I take VitD3, 2500iu a day all summer, and 5000iu a day in winter, and came out of last winter with Vit D levels of about 140 - above our local laboratory's given range, but not flagged up as dangerous. I'm not dead yet! :D Viv 8) Edited once for the apostrophe. [/QUOTE]
