Re: Re: Tanning and Vitamin D

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

Yes I did do a search and found a few posts but I still wasn't clear on if I

could possibly overdose on Vitamin D by just going a few times a week for 3

weeks. After reading the posts I want to clarify with Bee if what I'm doing is

safe (at least temporarily). I'm not too happy that my friend is making me do

this to begin with but I remember what it's like to be the bride and she already

thinks I'm crazy when it comes to my health so I don't want to even try and

explain more to her since she has enough to deal with.

Hi - have you done a research here in the archives or on her site? I know

this topic has been discussed within the past year and Bee has given her beliefs

on it. You can do this research while you await Bee's response in the morning.

Anyway, I've been taking 1 tbsp of garden of life cod liver oil and 1 capsule of

the natural factors halibut liver oil. I don't shower right after but I do about

5 hours later. I've gone a total of 3 times now and plan on going 3 more times.

One more time this week and 2 next week and then that's it.

Thanks Bee. However, I did already read that message so that's why I was asking

this question. Sorry to bring it up. I don't want to ask you to repeat yourself

again or waste your time. But are you saying I will overdose on Vitamin D then

even if I'm just doing this temporarily for a few weeks? Should I not take Cod

liver oil the days I do tan? Again...this is only for a few times that I'm doing

this. I don't plan on doing this regularily or anything.

Thank You,

Am I okay doing this for a few weeks? Or could I overdose on Vitamin D?

Just wanted to say that this information is well cool, as I've often wondered

about if I'm standing in the Sun will I over do my Vitamin D intake, beings I

take Supplements.

Thank you for that important information Bee.

Hugs,

Carol

+++Hi kelly,

Can you tan with only UVA rays, and are there tanning beds that only have UVA

rays? Maybe so, I don't know.

However, UVB rays create vitamin D on your skin, while the UVA rays in the

sunlight will tend to destroy excessive levels of vitamin D circulating in your

body.

This is from my article Vitamin D – Amount of Sun Exposure Required:

http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/sun.php

" Some people may worry that if they are in the sun a lot they will overdose on

Vitamin D. However this doesn't happen, and here's why.

When you're exposed to the sun, the UVB rays create vitamin D on your skin,

while the UVA rays in the sunlight will tend to destroy excessive levels of

vitamin D circulating in your body. That means that even " if " you are taking

vitamin D and also getting it from the sun, the UVA rays in sunlight won't allow

you to have too much vitamin D. "

missed it. Or maybe you are unsure of the answer to this?

Hi Bee,

Where I used to tan there was only one tanning bed that had both uva and uvb.

All the others used only uva.

Might these beds Bee possibliy lower vitamin d levels too much?

Hi Bee,

I think I found the answer to my question after reading your last post to

someone else about as long as I'm getting both UVA and UVB rays I can't overdose

on Vitamin D. I checked with the tanning place and the bed I'm using has both

UVA and UVB rays so it sounds like I'm okay.

Thanks!
