Hi I read somewhere if you want to get D3 from the sun, no sun block, no shower until several hours later as it takes several hours for your body to absorb the D3 as it is in the form of a grease. So if you slather on sun block sunbathe and then shower before leaving the pool you block D3 and wash off any you did not block. When I head south for some sun I limit sun exposure to two hours, no sun block, no after shower until later. My D3 level just checked by the VA is 53. If I start to burn I spray with my EIS to stop any burn in its tracks.Most sunbathers I see use sun block and shower off any D3 before leaving the pool. No wonder their D3 level is low. My skin DR told me to take a pill instead of laying in the sun, I asked him how can the vitamin people put the sun in a pill. My tan puts native americans to shame. Brickey so does one believe that all d3 is from the sun, than one has to think how can one get the sun in a pill
