According to http://www.vitamindcouncil.org/about-vitamin-d/how-do-i-get-the-vitamin-d-my-body-needs/ , it is complicated. The amount of vitamin D you get from exposing your bare skin to the sun depends on: The time of day – your skin produces more vitamin D if you expose it during the middle of the day. Where you live – the closer to the equator you live, the easier it is for you to produce vitamin D from sunlight all year round. The color of your skin – pale skins make vitamin D more quickly than darker skins. The amount of skin you expose – the more skin your expose the more vitamin D your body will produce. Mercola has many good articles on vitamin D also. http://www.mercola.com/article/vitamin-d-resources.htm If you supplement vitamin D you should also supplement vitamin K2. http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2013/10/19/vitamin-d-vitamin-k2.aspx    Topic
