Variation of the times for Vitamin D Synthesis / MED
- Red Line : Time to reach MED (Minimal Erythema Dose). Repeated exposure over this value is harmful to your health.
- Blue Line : Time required for the production of 10 µg vitamin D when an effective area of 600 cm2 is exposed (corresponding to the face and the back of both hands).
- Green Line : Time required for the production of 10 µg vitamin D when an effective area of 1200 cm2 is exposed (additional parts of arms or legs).
- The times can be reduced by increasing the area exposed to solar radiation by active sunbath.
- Note : Since logarithmic scale is adopted, each interval means 10 min. In addition, the gray area shows the production of 10 µg vitamin D and MED with an exposure over 60 min.
