The Importance of Vitamin D and Natural Light

Supplementation with vitamin D can enhance the immune system and improve gut health; however, it lacks the hormonal benefits provided by natural sunlight exposure. Relying solely on vitamin D supplements is akin to filling a fuel gauge without addressing the actual fuel source. This illustrates that natural light plays an essential role that cannot be entirely replaced by artificial supplements. Consequently, individuals must seek proper sunlight exposure in addition to any supplementation to maintain optimal health.
