As for Vitamin D the exposure people get these days has dropped dramatically mainly due to the rise in skin cancer & knowledge pushed for protections - slip/slop/slap, parents smothering the children in suncream & covering majority of the body before they get anywhere near outside. As it should be though with the dramatic rise in skin cancer but many are now awakening to the importance of balance. The only place to get Vitamin D is from direct exposure to the sun & suncream infact blocks any uptake, the best way to get this is morning or late afternoon exposure when the suns is of its peak & to soak up 20-30 minutes a day - the more of your skin exposed the larger amount that can be absorbed so potentially the shorter amount of time you need to spend in the sun. Vitamin D supplements for winter months - it's good for anyone to go get their Vit.D tested though especially those that dont get much time in the sun - important for many aspect of health.
