Vitamin D deficient. Can't get up early

2017-10-20 08:32:41
I am Vitamin D deficient(17.5 as per the test) and my lifestyle won't allow me to get up early morning. Can I absorb sunlight in the afternoon to fulfil my Vitamin D needs. What else shall I do to mitigate the deficiency? Gender - Male Age - 24 Lifestyle - Work in an A/C close doored sunlight proof office, hit gym 5 days/week(consume protein shake post WO). BMI is under control, drink 2 glasses of milk a day, and eat out an unhealthy snack once a day. Hope I've given enough information. :)

Cannot absorb vit D via sunlight in mid day, start vit D supplement if worried after BMD DEXA and risk factors analysis.
