It is worth noting that areas of high air pollution also affect how much vit D you absorb. (And the air pollution obviously affects your lungs anyway).

As per the other threads it is worth supplementing if you think you are low.
(Vit d affects things like the cytokine storm).

Always use suntanlotion
Are BAME
Arent getting out in the middle of the day so shift workers
And as i say living in a highly polluted city might affect your levels too.
