![]() ![]() = it goes without saying that I have no interest or agenda in promoting the specific brand/model of UVB lamp. ![]() Hope this helps people with similar issues I will keep using the lamp 2-3 times a week to maintain the current level and re-check during spring time next year. I've read several other people in this forum have similar issues with D3 supplements, so maybe this could be an alternative solution to recharge your vitamin D levels. so I had no choice and wanted to avoid shots, if possible. Unfortunately my body rejects oral and even transdermal D3. The UVB lamp I linked is definitely not cheap and I wouldn't have bought it if I tolerated any decent amount of oral D3. In any case I think the lamp has helped quite a bit especially in the last 2 months and in the cloudy days or when I was not able to be out in the sun. which I didn't expect considering it usually takes 6-12 months to recover from a severe deficiency. Today I got back the vitamin D results and, to my surprise, the level is now 45. ![]() and I kept doing this for all September and October as substitute for sun exposure. I sticked with this "protocol" for all July and August, exposing the legs directly and the rest indirectly to avoid being overwhelmed by the heat.Īdditionally I bought a narrow band UVB lamp from Amazon, this model:Īnd started using it every day for a few minutes, slowly building up the tolerance, until I reached a total exposure time of 20 minutes (5m legs front + 5 legs back + 5m chest + 5 back). Since it was summer the obvious choice was to be in the sun for at least 30-50min a day, every day, with no protection. Naturally the doctor wanted to immediately start with high dose (50-100K IU) shots to remedy the situation but I have a very bad history with high dose shots of anything, so I passed and looked for alternatives. Just wanted to report what I think is a positive experience of using an UVB lamp for recovering a sever vitamin D deficiency.Īt the end of June 2015 I was tested and found literally no vitamin D in my body, the serum level of 25OH-D was zero.
