How Much Vitamin D will I Make?
It is impossible to say exactly how much Vitamin D because an individual's ability for Vitamin D production in the skin by exposure to natural or artificial ultraviolet energy varies greatly. Contributing factors include the location and amount of skin exposed, dietary habits, percent of body fat, and more.
Outdoors in sunlight geography, time of day and time of year, also contribute to the variations. Scientific literature indicates exposing 10% of the body to ultraviolet B can generate 1000-2000 IUs of Vitamin D per day.
The literature also shows 1000 IU of Vitamin D per day synthesizes approximately 10 ng/mL. Published recommendations indicate that 40-60 ng/mL to be the optimal level of Vitamin D.
