When does a vitamin d deficiency occur?

• If you cannot be outside for 15 to 30 minutes every day between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m., the position of the sun is optimal)
• If your hands, your arms or your head are covered when you are outside, there is insufficient skin in contact with the sun.
• If you use a sunscreen/day cream with a high protection factor (SPF) to protect your skin (after all, the cream blocks the UV rays).
• From say October to March, because then the number of sunshine hours and the intensity of UV rays in Central Europe are insufficient to produce enough vitamin D

Other causes of vitamin D deficiency:

• As you get older, because then your skin becomes thinner, which makes it less easy to make vitamin D
• If you have dark skin, because then you make less vitamin D than someone with lighter skin.
• Children during growth spurts, because then there is an extra need for vitamin D to support bone building
