Do you know if you are vitamin D deficient?
South Africans have one of the largest population groups of individuals deficient in Vitamin D, and yet we have so much sun!
Vitamin D is made in the body after spending time in the sun.
South Africans are very aware of our UV exposure, therefore limiting our time in the sun, which could contribute to the low levels in the population.
People with darker skin have more melanin, which also makes it more difficult for the body to absorb Vitamin D.
