Sunlight not only gives us energy but is also a natural source of vitamin D which is essential for our body. So let us know when vitamin D is produced the most.

Vitamin D is very important for bones, teeth, and the immune system, but do you know at what time the production of vitamin D from sun rays is the highest?

Vitamin D is produced when exposed to the sun's ultraviolet B (UVB) rays. When our skin absorbs the sun's UVB rays, it converts vitamin D into its active form.

This vitamin D is then absorbed in our body and helps in various bodily functions. The sun's UVB rays vary in intensity at different times of the day.

To maximize vitamin D production, the best time to sunbathe is between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. During this time, the sun's rays fall directly on the earth and the intensity of UVB rays is high.

The sun's rays are stronger in summer, so vitamin D production is higher than in winter. Sunscreen protects the skin from the sun's harmful rays by absorbing UVB rays, but it can also reduce vitamin D production.

Vitamin D deficiency can cause problems like weakening of bones, rickets, osteoporosis, fatigue, muscle pain, and weakening of the immune system.
