Catch Me When You Can!

    ~Sunshine Made Easy~

You can meet your daily vitamin D requirement just by being out in the sun. But there are factors to take into consideration: location, season, skin type, weather conditions etc.. How can you figure all this out by yourself?

Now, you don’t have to. Scientists at the Norwegian Institute for Air Research have devised a UV/Vitamin D calculator that will take all these factors into consideration and estimate how many minutes of exposure you need for your skin to produce 25 mcg (the equivalent of 1,000 International Units) of vitamin D.

Simply calculate and go catch some rays!
