It’s a sunny day and you are feeling the sun on your skin, but is it enough to get Vitamin D?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can get Vitamin D from sunlight but it depends<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the UK you can get vitamin D from sun light if:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. It is shining\u00a0directly<\/strong>\u00a0on your skin so you have to be outside<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. You are\u00a0not<\/strong>\u00a0wearing sunscreen<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. The month is April to September in the UK<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    So the answer is no, you can’t get vitamin D from sunshine if you are sitting inside by the window on a sunny day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Why can’t I get vitamin D sitting indoors on a sunny day by the window?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Light from the sun is made up of Ultra Violet A (UVA) and Ultra Violet B (UVB) rays. UVB light shining directly on your skin can make vitamin D in your body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Windows block UVB light and so your body can’t make vitamin D when you are sitting by the window in your house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Windows block UVB light, the light that can help your body make vitamin D, so you can’t get vitamin D from sunshine sitting indoors by a window.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
