Sulfate synthesis in the skin captures the sun s energy. Adequate sunlight exposure to both the skin and the eyes is vital to our long-term health.
Among other functions, sulfate supports blood vessel health, the body s electrical supply and the delivery system for important molecules such as cholesterol, vitamin D, dopamine and melatonin.
Evidence indicates that sunlight protects against cancer, heart disease, hypertension and bone fractures.
The benefits of sunlight exposure are about much more than vitamin D.
Many studies show that vitamin D supplementation cannot reproduce sunlight s health benefits. Moreover, excessive vitamin D supplementation can aggravate systemic sulfate deficiency, which will drive calcium buildup in the arteries.
