Vitamin D, aka the sunshine vitamin, is a fat-soluble vitamin that is vital for regulating calcium, magnesium and phosphorus absorption in our bodies. It is a vitamin with an important role in human health that has been associated in some studies with a reduced risk of conditions such as breast, prostate and ovarian cancers, multiple sclerosis and diabetes. Sunlight is the principal source of vitamin D for humans worldwide. Its production is stimulated in the body when skin is exposed to UVB radiation, regardless of the source. Over the course of millions of years, exposure to UVB radiation has been an effective and practical vitamin D fortification strategy. Health Canada also confirms that tanning beds that emit UVB produce vitamin D. Happy Classy Tanning.
