Would there be any benefit to using a tanning bed, or will I just get tan without the health benefits?
The more I discover about Vitamin D, the more important I think it is to get it.

Hi there Suldog,
If you look at the post from Hutchinson, you'll see one thing called "Vitamin D council links". Out of curiousity, I had a scroll through it - some dang interesting stuff there - and saw that there's a company that sells special "Vitamin D" lamps. They're not cheap at about 300 bucks a throw, but if you don't like the idea of ingesting your Vit D (that really is the cheapest option - the stuff I get is also a liquid which I just drop onto a spoon so it's not even "difficult" to take, like tablets can be for some people), then you could look into getting one of these lamps.
As far as I know, you just have them in your room and then sit in front of them! And hey presto, you get your Vitamin D! At least, I think that's how it works...
