At peak sun with strong UV-B rays, and then waiting several hours until washing skin.

Our study reinforces the importance of existing sun protection messages for the summer months throughout Australia. However, fair-skinned people should be able to obtain sufficient vitamin D from short periods of unprotected sun exposure of the face, arms and hands outside of the peak UV period (10:00–15:00) throughout Australia for most of the year. The greater variability in sun exposure times during winter, means that optimal sun exposure advice should be tailored to each location.

GitHub copilot is where it's at
Not in winter
Depends on the skin type as well. That 15 minutes recommendation is based on the research done on lighter skin people.
Depends on your age as well. Edit and weight….
Can be as high as 45-60mins in wintee
I hate wintee :(
me too :( my fingees get cold
I thought the same, but the last few blood tests (one from summer and one from winter) have come up a bit under where I should be and I am not one to hide away from the sun. The doctor advised that some people just don't absorb it as easily as others. So I'm now on a tablet or two daily.
Where is The Sun???
Does it have a use-by date?
Thanks OP
A cheap way to get more D into my wife. Thanks OP
Shes not getting enough from me?
She said your dose is too small
OD not enough .. ahhh
I recently got this for $14 usd on sale with my recent order , 10000IU 360 Softgels

Found these were much better value and did feel less fatigued after a few days of starting using them. Pills are tiny but you only need one to hit your daily requirement. YMMV

So the Swisse suggests 1000IU once a day and the Prowise suggests 4000IU once a day?!
Coles doing a clearout on vitamins, probiotics,etc .90% off .
Not at my locals
Keep looking at other locations as they all do clearout at different times according to staff , and these days bargains go quick.
Bigger stores also have a bigger range and a lot a stores they’re not marked so I’ve been taking stuff up to checkout to confirm clearance prices that I’ve seen elsewhere .
Woollies were also doing something clearing lines , but they may have just dumped old stock , as I had much less luck finding items there and I’ve seen them clearing shelves ,
I listed some in the Cenovis vitC Amazon post , if you want a comprehensive list let me know I’ll try to remember.
I’ll take some Centrum - Mind & Memory 50 tabs $3.70 and see how I go .
Great timing son!
I see lots of miracle cure extolled on the internet by influencers, from vagus nerve stimulation to Zinc supplementation to Methylene Blue, but it is hard to know whether they are beneficial for everyone, beneficial to only a small portion of the population with a certain health issue, or just quackery that relies on placebo effects (good old fashioned snake oil repackaged for the 21 century). For recent blood tests I know I am low in magnesium and slightly deficient in Zinc but my Vitamin D and B12 are right in the middle. The easiest was to self-diagnose Zinc deficiency is to look for white spots in your nails. If you see some spots, ask your GP for a Zinc assay.
Particularly for degenerative diseases (Alzheimer's, Carcinomas, Heart Disease), you need to follow a control group and a group using the treatment consistently for perhaps 10 years plus. In comparison, the benefits of antibiotics for infections or narcotics for pain can be quickly and easily demonstrated.
The editor of the Lancet said 50% of scientific research is garbage.
I agree that gold standard research is best. And treatments are horses for courses.
Science isn't without it's caveats.
For example, opioids aren't usually helpful in treating chronic non-cancer pain. So for someone with back pain, they'd be better off pursuing treatments other than pain killers.
Pfizer scientists would strongly disagree with you
back pain, they'd be better off pursuing treatments other than pain killers.
They would recommend lifetime of oxycodone and tramadol over other treatments lol
In evidence based medicine they taught us the gold standard is meta analysis of double blinded randomized controlled trials. I guess it would be hard to apply that to field of supplements intake
Combine this with K2 (preferably one with both MK4 and MK7) - K2 + D3 helps calcium go into your bones/teeth rather than soft tissues (especially important if taking calcium supplements).
I use this one: https://www.amazon.com.au/Life-Extension-Super-90-Softgel/dp… but any should do.
There was a deal previously on Vit D with 5000 iu version that works out to be cheaper

15mins under the sun is enough daily for our vit D requirement, am i right?
