Red Light Therapy & Vitamin D Creation

Vitamin D is essential for survival, along with water and nutrition. It’s important for every species to have vitamin D. Vitamin D helps to regulate the amount of calcium and the phosphate that are essential for our bones and teeth.

Vitamin D also helps to fight disease, reduce depression and help with weight loss. When we lack vitamin D in our bodies, it can lead to a loss of bone density. Sitting outdoors (with sunscreen, hopefully) will boost your vitamin D levels. It can help regulate mood and reduce depression.

Scientists found in a study that those with depression who took vitamin D supplements saw improvements in their depression symptoms. Vitamin D supplements can be an option but it may take between 3 to 4 months before you notice any improvements. This is a very long time, especially if depression is a problem. There is a way you can increase your vitamin D production and not have to wait for months before seeing results.

You don’t require sunlight to produce vitamin D. You can take vitamin D3 in supplement form, which takes months to work. , or, through red light therapy you can get quick results. How can red light therapy help you to increase your vitamin D?

It’s important that you know, before we continue, that contrary to popular opinion, not all types of light can boost vitamin D levels in the body. It is important to know the type of light that’s used in light therapy devices. The sun’s natural light contains “infrared and red” light. Light therapy devices need these two types of light to boost vitamin D production.

Nothing will happen without red and infrared lights. Both forms of light are beneficial to the body.

One study, published in Scientific Reports and, found that LEDs are more effective than sunlight in producing vitamin D3 on skin samples. Tyler Kalajian’s team discovered that samples of skin exposed to LED lights for 0.52 minutes produced twice as much vitamin-D3 as samples exposed to sunlight for 32.5 minutes.

A second study focused on patients with cystic fibrosis or short bowel syndrome who cannot absorb vitamin D3 from food. UV light was used to see if it affected vitamin D3 production. The UV lamp emits UV radiation that is similar to the UV radiation of sunlight and produces Vitamin D3 on the skin.

These studies are amazing because they not only prove that light therapy can be an effective source of vitamin during winter, but also show how it is an excellent way to produce vitamin D.

Many people are affected by SAD (Seasonal Depressive Disorder) during the winter and cannot find a source of vitamin D. Red light therapy allows users to produce more vitamin D, regardless of the weather. Red light therapy can be a faster alternative to antidepressants and slow-acting vitamin D supplements.
