Dr. Holick introduces himself and shares how sun exposure can benefit women.
Dr. Holick:
My name is Michael Holick and I am Professor of Medicine, Physiology, and Biophysics at Boston University Medical Center, and I am also Director of the General Clinical Research Center. I have been doing vitamin D research for almost 40 years.
Well, vitamin D synthesis is made in your skin from sun exposure, and most people’s vitamin D requirement comes from adequate, sensible sun exposure. So being exposed to a reasonable amount of sunlight will provide you with all of your vitamin D requirement.
