How Can Photosensitivity Be Treated?
I ve been taking Vitamin D3. I just realizes that there is a difference between Vit D and Vit D3. But all I can find to purchase is D3. I ve been experiencing a sensitivity to sunlight I ve never had before (age 67) and I m thinking I need D in lieu of D3. WHERE to find it?

Hi,
You should look at the label on any bottle of vitamin D and you’ll likely see vitamin D-3 listed as the primary ingredient.
That’s because multiple forms of the vitamin exist, and D-3 is most common for use in supplements. Once they’re inside your body, all forms of vitamin D have the same effect.
I hope now you've got your answer. Please let me know if I can assist you further.
