But how much do you need, and how should you really be getting it?Whats assumed to be some kind of magic absorption of the nutrient is actually the suns UVB rays turning your skins proteins (called 7-DHC) into vitamin D. However, many adults believe they cant get the D if you have sunscreen on to protect you from these rays, so they engage with the sunshine protection-free; this is false.According to The Skin Cancer Foundation, while 10 to 15 minutes unprotected in the sun may give you all the vitamin D you need, any more time than that can have your body shedding the vitamin, in addition to suffering the DNA damage that leads to sunburns and skin cancer.For those who do lather themselves in sunscreen, youre still getting the vitamin, just from a lower percentage of rays. For example, even someone wearing SPF 60 can still experience protein-to-vitamin conversion by the remaining 2 to 7% of UVB rays reaching their skin.Keep in mind, any sun exposure, sunscreen or not, is a risk, and damage from both UVB and UVA can continue to form in your cells long after youve gone inside or into the shade.Luckily for our skin, and our taste buds, theres a sweet-as-honey way to get our D without the sting and damage of sun exposure: Honibe Gummie Bees!
