What are ways which the body take in vitamin d?

Answer 1

Sources of Vitamin D:

Chinook Salmon, baked/broiled (4 oz - 411 IU* Vit D)

Shrimp, steamed/boiled (4 oz -162.39 IU Vit D)

Cod, baked/broiled (4 oz - 63.50 IU Vit D)

Egg, whole, boiled (1 each - 22.88 IU Vit D)

* IU = International Units

Direct (not behind a glass/window) sunlight.

Sunscreen reportedly prevents the skin from producing Vitamin D while out in the sun.

-> If a person with very fair, sunburn-prone skin isn't planning on being in the sun for a long time, and the rays aren't too intense (i.e. summer evenings), some recommend going without sunscreen so the skin can produce some vitamin D.

- The further a person is from the equator and the darker their skin, the longer sun exposure they need.

*antioxidants, such as those found in berries and brightly coloured fruits and vegetables, greatly boost the body's ability to handle sunlight without burning.

Answer 2

Vitamin D is created naturally in your skin by exposure to sunlight. However, the sun is not the ideal source for vitamin D for obvious reasons related to its damaging effects. Other sources are milk and fish such as salmon, sardines, mackerel, or herring. Vitamin supplements can also be used if dietary intake is not enough.

Answer 3

The easiest way to increase your vitamin D intake is to go out into the sunshine and allow some of the suns rays to shine on you. You will absorb enough vitamin D in fifteen minutes of direct sun to make your daily recommended dose of vitamin D. Of course you should be careful of over indulging in the sun's rays as skin cancer is the penalty of too much sun.

sunshine is the best way, but other than that, take supplements. you can buy them from anywhere like GNC, to wholesalers. i would be wary of the safeway brand or walgreens stuff because there is a lower-quality supplement, but its all up to you...
