Detailed explanation-1: -The skin is responsible for producing vitamin D. During exposure to sunlight, ultraviolet radiation penetrates into the epidermis and photolyzes provitamin D3 to previtamin D3. Previtamin D3 can either isomerize to vitamin D3 or be photolyzed to lymisterol and tachysterol.
Detailed explanation-2: -Another study found that 30 minutes of midday summer sun exposure in Oslo, Norway was equivalent to consuming 10, 000–20, 000 IU of vitamin D ( 8 ). The commonly recommended daily dose of vitamin D is 600 IU (15 mcg) ( 3 ).
Detailed explanation-3: -Vitamin D helps repair skin damage and prevent infections as a result of skin injuries. Topical application can relieve symptoms of psoriasis including itchy and flaky skin. Additionally, Vitamin D has strong anti-inflammatory properties which are useful in treating burns, skin damage, and even stretch marks.
