- A few hours in the sun can produce up to 20,000 IU, that's a lot. But it has to be absorbed through the skin and that can take up to 24 hours so don't shower if you can avoid it. Now I get why the sun produces 90% of your vitamin D and not your diet.

- It's really really hard to OD on vitamin D. One guy took a million IU per day and didn't get sick for six months.

Worth the time to watch. I've upped my daily supplement.

My old doctor told me that Vitamin D deficiency was unheard of until everybody went nuts with sunscreen on every body part from sun up to sundown.

Skin cancers a *****, I got that but, another case of unintended consequences.

I know that vitamin D supplements don't do anything for me, as far as how I actually feel while taking them. If I spend an hour or two out in the sun with my shirt off, say running, biking, yard work, ect....I feel fantastic for the next few days. I am naturally dark complected white boy and it's hard for me to get burned unless I am emerging from winter. I use low spf sunscreen on the tops of my shoulders and high spf on the nose and ears.

Another note - being out in the sun without a shirt for a few hours really boosts my libido for some reason. I think it's the natural vitamin D. I don't get that libido boost from vitamin D supplements.

If vitamin D boosted libido that would have been discovered a long time ago. Mankind has been searching for aphrodisiacs forever.

Get a blood test and then based on the results ask your doctor.
