UVB’s 1. The sun shines on the skin. 2. The UVB light interfaces with a form of cholesterol in the skin called 97-dehydrocholesterol. 3. This is synthesized into pre-vitamin D3, which is immediately converted into vitamin D3. 30 minutes of midday sun in a bathing suit, and you’ve absorbed up to 20,000 IU of vitamin D.
