I got a suntan on my left arm from driving from home in NW Arkansas to Austin, TX, in March. The tinted window was UP the whole time. So, there are lots of factors to consider about whether you should supplement or not.

    There's also the study that says vitamin D supplementation may be immunosuppressant.

    I think all things in moderation, including exposure to the sun.

    More great responses - I love this board!

    I've printed out the journal article referred to in the Science Daily article and plan to read it this weekend. I'll bring it to my MD's attention as well. Always something . . .

    I have found the site below to be very helpful in my understanding of and my dealing with my osteopenia. Lots of good suggestions and information. And the research is cited, so you can go to the original articles if you choose.
