"While both Vitamin D from sunlight and supplements provide the same D3 molecule the way the body processes and utilizes them differs. When your skin is exposed to UVB rays cholesterol is converted into pre-vitamin D3 which has unique biological properties that could even help reduce the risk of skin cancer. This pre-vitamin D3 is also converted into active Vitamin D directly within your skin cells Key differences: - Sunshine Vitamin D is available to the body 2-3 times longer than oral supplements. - Sun exposure cannot lead to toxicity unlike with supplements. - Supplements are absorbed"
