Have you heard of the Sperti Sunlamps Vitamin D lamp?
After seeing how I discuss the importance of optimizing Vitamin D levels for many many health benefits, Sperti graciously offered one of their Vitamin D lamps to check out.
True sunlamps supplement Vitamin D by producing ultraviolet B light, which is then used by your skin cells to convert cholesterol into Vitamin D. Sunlamps that emit ultraviolet B rays will be able to mimic the natural process for creating Vitamin D.
So while I started using it, I also dug into the research on it. Sperti’s Vitamin D lamp was proven in a clinical study to increase Vitamin D within just a week with continued increases the following 3-4 weeks.
All study participants had a significant increase in their serum D3 levels, with an average of a 47.5% increase. This is with only 9% of body surface exposed and just five minutes every other day.
(You can check out the full study here:

The research had me convinced. The ease of use with short exposure times needed makes it easy to stay consistent with.
Based on all of these, I definitely see this as a very viable way to support ideal Vitamin D levels, especially in the winter, and especially for those who do not absorb oral D3 well.*
From what I’ve found so far, I would say that more/longer use and/or other Vitamin D therapies may still be needed for those who are starting out very deficient.
The best way to know where you’re at is to test. You can test at home with these lab tests:

*Magnesium is an essential co-factor for Vitamin D absorption so for both oral and sun lamp Vitamin D, I recommend making sure to take a good magnesium supplement.
