Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Vitamin D3 is synthesized in human skin from 7-dehydrocholesterol following exposure to ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation with wavelength 290 to 320 nm.
Detailed explanation-2: -One of the many synthetic vitamins we do not add is Vitamin D3, also known as Cholecalciferol. It is this excessively added chemical form of this vitamin that is resulting in the recalls.
Detailed explanation-3: -Midday, especially during summer, is the best time to get sunlight. At noon, the sun is at its highest point, and its UVB rays are most intense. That means you need less time in the sun to make sufficient vitamin D ( 5 ). Many studies also show that the body is most efficient at making vitamin D at noon ( 6, 7 ).
