In the Nordics, vitamin D is a hot commodity!
Vitamin D is produced in the skin when exposed to sunlight during the spring and summer months in Sweden. From May to September, your skin absorbs it like a champ, as long as you’re not slathering on sunscreen or wearing full-coverage clothing. During the summer, the sun is your main source of vitamin D, but from late fall to spring, you can pretty much forget about any significant synthesis in your body, since UV-B rays get filtered out of the atmosphere when the sun is low. Until just a few years ago, many thought that the amount of vitamin D synthesized in the body during the summer would be enough to cover their needs throughout the winter. But now we know that this synthesized amount is often not sufficient, and only a few people actually produce enough to meet their needs during the colder months. So, many risk having low levels of vitamin D for a good part of the year.

Sunscreen protects – but also blocks vitamin D synthesis
Using sunscreen is super important for protecting your skin from the harmful effects of the sun’s rays. However, it also blocks the process where sunlight synthesizes and creates our natural stores of vitamin D in the skin. Your skin tone plays a role in how effectively absorption happens too. The darker your skin, the less vitamin D you absorb. People with very fair skin in the Nordics often lather on extra sunscreen to avoid getting red and burned, which is totally valid, but it also means we miss out on that precious vitamin D. Many choose to cover up with clothing or chill in the shade, which also means we’re missing out on vitamin D from the sun.

Vitamin D and health
Vitamin D has the power to influence the functions of several cells in the body, which in turn affects our health in various ways. It plays a crucial role in the absorption and utilization of calcium and phosphorus, ensuring that the nervous system and muscles function normally, and it also contributes to a well-functioning immune system. Other parts of the body, like bones and teeth, depend on vitamin D, and it’s essential for the cell division process.
