If only humans could make their own vitamin D. Oh, wait
The major natural source of vitamin D is synthesis of cholecalciferol in the lower layers of the epidermis of the skin, through a photochemical reaction of UVB light, from the sun exposure (specifically UVB radiation) or UVB lamps.
In the winter, only 10 percent of the body is exposed, and nearly 2 hours of sun exposure at noon is needed to produce a sufficient amount of vitamin D.

Sure you can, but there’s also winter months where you can’t really go outside.
Thanks for pointing that out.

I thought less time was required.
So I’m supposed to be outside for two hours in -20 degree weather to get my Vitamin D just so I can survive?
