There are numerous studies you can dig through on Medline about the lack of efficacy from Vitamin D supplements. <a href="http://bit.ly/ds9v3" rel="nofollow">D3</a> is the supplemental form found to give benefits to folks. Bottom line, nothing eaten or swallowed will provide the same benefits as exposure to the Suns rays. Here is a good article with a step by step plan on ensuring enough Vitamin D in your diet. http://bit.ly/3N0yrp At this point further research is needed on the supplemental forms of Vitamin D to determine if supplementation can truly replace the effects of the sun rays.

I find it hard to believe supplement advice without research to back it up. Can you please cite the research you’re referring to indicating that vitamin D supplements are “proven” to not truly work?

Thanks for your reply. We should have clarified our position more clearly. Vitamin D Supplements are not proven to truly work and are far less effective than being exposed to sunlight. Vitamin D2 which is the supplemental form of Vitamin D is far less effective than D3 formed from sun exposure. You can also get some Vitamin D from oily fish like mackerel, salmon and herring. Cod liver oil also supplies a good amount. The commentary about Tanning Beds was really only for people who live in climates or geographies where there is limited to no sun in their natural environment. Most people around the globe can spend 10-30 minutes per day outside a couple of days per week and produce all of the Vitamin D they would ever need. We don't recommend lengthy sessions in a tanning booth for anyone. 8-10 minutes in a High Intensity Bed a couple of times per week will provide the Vitamin D production necessary to give the many benefits it provides to anyone who can't get the sun exposure from their natural environment.

Do you have any studies to backup your claims that sitting in "tanning booth" 3-4x a week isn't MORE harmful than being deficient in vitamin D?
