The Facts
Vitamin-D is created in the most natural way when your skin is exposed to UVB rays from the sun or from the lamps in a solarium. 10-30 minutes every day, depending on the source of UVB, is recommended to avoid Vitamin-D deficiency.Just be careful NOT to BURN your skin through too long exposure!
