The Vitamin D Sunlamp offers an ideal way to get the right amount of sunlight for your needs and health.
The D/UV Sunlamp is intended for individuals who may not be able to receive enough sunlight exposure or tolerate Vitamin D supplemented foods. Treatment time is five minutes, three times per week for maximum Vitamin D absorption. This lamp is made in accordance with FDA regulations.
Wavelengths from the sun can start a chemical chain reaction in your body that produces Vitamin D. Vitamin D deficiencies may help explain some cases of autism, breast cancer progression, prostate cancer and other illnesses. It can boost bone strength by encouraging the body to absorb calcium. Vitamin D may also help ward off diabetes, multiple sclerosis, gum disease and some cancers.
Taking Vitamin D supplements can be helpful, but very little is actually absorbed from most marketed vitamins. Sun rays can help boost Vitamin D very effectively.
The sun's rays are also shown to help with Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), which is caused in part by limited sun exposure. Think of it this way - a lot of people get depressed around the holidays, when they stay inside more due to the cold. A little sunshine can go a long way.
Sunshine, without massive humidity conditions, can also inspire you to get up and go. A sunny day can make everyday tasks a lot less onerous to pull off.
And of course, some people just like a good tan.
Professional Endorsement
Dr Holick, the world's leading authority on Vitamin D has this to say regarding Sperti Vitamin D lamps:
"The U.S. Federal Drug Administration has sanctioned Sperti lamps as vitamin D-producers. They work very well for patients who have malabsorption syndrome. You can raise your blood levels of vitamin D by being exposed to it."
He goes on to say, "People with cystic fibrosis, Crohn’s disease or those who have had intestinal bypass surgery often have trouble absorbing vitamin D from foods, so a tanning bed or Sperti lamp is best for them."
