Caine - do you have a source for this information?

I felt I'd spent a lot of time researching tanning beds and very few

websites stated they were good for Vit D absorption. Most just said they

tan your skin but not increased Vit D...

Thanks

Hi

My only source is from watching a video from ph Mercola where he

says that a SAFE tanning bed produces the same UBA to UBV ratios as the

sun. UBV of course makes vit d3.Those ratios are approx 20 to 1 from UVA

to UVB.

Then i used the link Bee, and calculated that 10mins in a Safe regular

tanning bed should give a person 2000iu cause 100% of your body is

exposed in the bed. Thats my calculation, im not a mathemetician so

probably you can try to figure out the calculations for yourself, and

get back to me if i am wrong.

According to ph Mercola a SAFE tanning bed is one with the ballast

is NOT magnetic, but electric. He says that if the bed sounds loud its a

good indicator the bed is magnetic, but if it is quiet more than likely

its electric. You would have to contact where you tan i guess and get

confirmation about that. Also he says the bulbs should be based on

sunlight, which nowadays i think most of them are.

For ph Mercola video, i just googled his name and search vitd3

articles. I am not computer literate at all therefore have no way to

provide the link. Maybe i should learn, LOL.

I hope that helps a bit, all the best.... Caine.....
