[!@#$%!]

i live in a supersunny place. even in winter.

the doctor checks my vitamin D levels, says to take supplements

BUT THE SUN HERE! i tell him

then he explains:

1) the type of UV rays we get at these latitudes aren't the best for vit. D synthesis

2) the parts that usually get exposed to the sun aren't enough etc

so, no matter where you are, if you're indoors and / or covered from head to toe all the time, you're gonna be lacking

vit D supplements destroyed my formerly horrible winter depressions

hurrah!
