Thanks Ted for some great links.

Dr Mercola's suggestion that it take two days to absorb, and will be washed off with soap is thought provoking.

The Dr Mercola link is worth listening to.

Cats know this and are not known for taking showers, and get theirs from licking their coats.

A question that occurs to me is what effect do skin moisturising products have on both the ability of the skin to make vit D and the absorption of it.

Oils in moisturisers could dilute D and abstract it by increasing the absorption by clothing etc.

How much vitamin D gets rubbed off by clothing?
