I put some cover-up make up on my nose and cheek bones. Swim glasses protect my eyes.
So the reflexion from the water gives me enough sun. I never sun myself outside. My mom had 5 skin cancers, thankfully none the real bad kind. I had a nasty blister that wouldn't heal on my nose two years ago. Now I have some virgin skin from the biopsies. So I always use that cover up. Since there are lots of reports of vitamin D being good to fight depression, I think it's important. My regular vitamin has a little vitamin D in it too. How are you getting enough Vitamin D?

I'm sunbathing nude in the front yard.
On a serious note, I take prescription supplements when levels are too low. I'd probably have better luck with sunbathing though. |

Too much is bad for you (toxic), so make sure you know you need it.
But chances are you need it when depressed, obviously.

I'm glad everyone is paying attention to Vitamin D.

I take 5000 units of vitamin D3 every day, and my level tests out as just enough.

I live in Northern Alberta, and from September to March we only get about 5 hours of sun a day. That is when I take vitamin D.
In the summer we get about 3 hours of darkness a day, so no need for any D supplement.

I too supplement my vitamin D as my levels were low. I also try and get out in the sun each day, and luckily where I live is almost always sunny. Still I get depressed so not sure whats going on there.

I take 2000 IU a day. I just take it at night with my other meds, as it's easy to remember.
I think I literally have a year's supply of vitamin D. There was some crazy good sale at CVS, so I stocked up! |

I live in the tundra so it's hard to get vitamin D the natural way
Jk, but I do live about 50 miles from the Canadian border and practically everyone here has low vitamin D and takes supplements (including me) |
