Hey Capt Hanks,

more than enough!

You must work outdoors?

20 minutes of sunlight=20,000 I.U. of D-3. It stores well in the body thats why 3 times a week is sufficient.

1 hour/week sunlight=roughly 60-100 glasses of milk. Although milk is a bad source, thats a lot of liquified sheep skin.

I guess that much sun might be ok if you are of dark skin, caucasian, Id say too much.

Supplementing this time of year in addition to sun isnt really neccessary in Northern Lattitudes.

The standard 400 I.U. in supplements in fall/winter under decreased daylight, extended overcast, indoor activity and covered skin outdoors is not enough though.

The majority of scientists are calling for a minimum of a 1000 I.U. (international units)
for degenerative disease prevention in the Fall and Winter seasons or for people who mostly stay indoors during Spring/Summer. Like elderly people or people with indoor jobs.

Elderly people have it the worst and explains osteoporosis and lack of calcium absorbtion/ estrogen via d-3 as well as incontinence and poor muscle tone.

I think most dermatologists have made an entire population paranoid about letting ANY sunlight on their skin for fear of skin cancer. Granted too much is a concern just as well as staying indoors or completely covered, or covered with sunscreen is. Obviously you cant synthesize d-3 when covered in sunscreen.

So it boils down to making adjustments with seasonal changes and what race skin color you have.

But anyway let me know if you start to glow in the dark. lol

later.
