Side note: vitamin D supplementation should not be used to replace sun exposure.
Strongly agree, but I don’t think it is because vitamin D supplements aren’t “real” vitamin D. It is very likely that sun exposure triggers other important processes.
Like nitric oxide production, which lowers blood pressure: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5593895/
Also endorphins (opiate type things). This is why a friend described taking heroin as like being “bathed in golden sunlight”.
