That\u2019s the consensus of research published by Dr. Michael Holick\u2019s group at Boston University. Holick\u2019s group studied 15 people aged 20-53, tracking their vitamin D blood levels as they tanned in tanning equipment three times a week.

Not at over-the-counter levels. Consider: Three tanning sessions a week will deliver the equivalent of 30,000-75,000 international units of vitamin D (depending on skin type and other factors) \u2013 levels that cannot possibly be obtained through any other source. Even fresh salmon from the stream has a maximum of only 1,000 IU of vitamin D \u2013 not enough to move vitamin D blood levels nearly as much as tanning.<\/p>\n<p>Vitamin D scientists now target vitamin D blood levels of 40-60 ng\/ml (nanograms per milliliter). Many vitamin D specialists now refer to these levels as \u201cNatural Vitamin D levels\u201d \u2013 amounts that are consistent only with natural outdoor living in sunny climates.<\/p>\n<p>Previous research has shown that sunbed users, on average, have 90 percent higher vitamin D levels as compared to non-tanners, who are deficient today, according to vitamin D researchers.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>SmartTan.com news articles regularly report medical and scientific information to keep you abreast of current events related to UV light.
