Vitamin D Calculators

Monday January 9, 2012

Many UV/vitamin D calculators in English on web/iPad/Smartphone
Huge difference between between the calculators in ease of use and what each one considers:
   weight, skin color, amount of skin exposed, time of day, age,
The calculators typically just estimate the amount of vitamin D intake from sunshine - but some also include intake from supplements and food
Some calculators base their estimates of the UV expected for the day at your location - but sometimes this does not include possible clouds.
The calculators do not try to estimate the vitamin D level in your book nor how much is needed to PREVENT or TREAT diseases
