FAQs

Only recently have people started talking about the vitamin D deficiency epidemic. Vitamin D is not only a key vitamin but also a hormone with far-reaching effects on our body. A lack of vitamin D is linked to weakened immunity and bones, diabetes, cancer, heart disease, fatigue, hair loss, weight gain, dementia and even depression. On top of these chronic issues, vitamin D is crucial for acne prevention, skin cell repair, and overall skin health. But there’s a catch: while exposure to sunlight is beneficial to restore low vitamin D levels, too much sunlight can be harmful and may contribute to skin cancer and premature aging. Appropriate use of sunblock may further reduce vitamin D production. With all this in mind, Solaana MD is changing the face of skin health.

Environmental, genetic and lifestyle factors all affect our levels of vitamin D. Normally our body obtains vitamin D by eating foods high in vitamin D such as egg yolks, fatty fish, and fortified dairy products, through supplements, or when our bare skin is exposed to sunlight. However, due to a modern hectic lifestyle, time spent indoors, poor diet and correctly applied sunscreen (which we all should be using) we reduce our body's ability to obtain vitamin D.
