Sun exposure time for Vitamin D.Get Vitamin D from sun in Winter

Hello,

How long should I be exposed to direct sunlight to get the Vitamin D ? Is it possible to get Vitamin D from the sun in winter ?

The amount of Vitamin D you can get from the direct sunlight depends on:

• Where are you located ?
• What season (month) is it ?
• What part of the day is it ?
• How long are you exposed to the direct sunlight ?

In northern countries, you can get enough Vitamin D from the sun only during a few months. While in countries close to equator, you can get enough Vitamin D from the sun almost during the whole year.

You can get enough Vitamin D from the sun:

• Mainly during the Summer
• In many countries also in Spring and Autumn

To get enough Vitamin D, you have to be exposed to the direct sunlight:

• Around midday - between 10 AM to 3 PM
• For at least 15 minutes a day - multiple days during a week (at least 25% of your body should be exposed to the sunlight)

You can get Vitamin D from the direct sunlight in the winter, but not enough. It is recommended to be exposed to the direct sunlight during a winter.
