Is a pill as good as the sun? In this snippet from my podcast this week (Fundamental Health, available on iTunes, YouTube, and carnivoremd.com) with Dr. Jack Wolfson we discuss the differences between real sunlight and a vitamin D pill. In light of the evidence showing that those with lower levels of 25-OH vitamin D (30ng/ml) do much worse with COVID, I feel this is a very important discussion.

As you’ll hear Jack and I discuss here, though epidemiology studies show correlation between higher levels of vitamin D in the blood and better outcomes, many of these same outcomes cannot be replicated in interventional trials by giving vitamin D. This suggests that there may be other benefits to the sun that are not found in a vitamin D pill, or that those with the highest levels of vitamin D may also be doing things in the sun (walking, running, playing, etc.) that also have benefit.


It would be very interesting to do an interventional study with sun exposure alone controlling for other variables to see if this is indeed the case.


When I’ve posted about this in the past many have asked about vitamin D lamps, Sperti brand is a good option (no affiliation) for those who don’t live in lower latitudes, as are trips to Hawaii, Costa Rica, or Belize. :)
