Does SPF prevent vitamin D absorption?Updated a year ago

There is a common concern that using SPF might inhibit the skin's ability to produce vitamin D. However, studies have shown that regular use of sunscreen does not significantly impact vitamin D levels in the body. This is because even with SPF, some UV rays still penetrate the skin, allowing for the production of vitamin D. Additionally, vitamin D can be obtained from dietary sources and supplements, making it easy to maintain adequate levels without risking sun damage.
