Summer has been very kind to us this year and spoiled us with plenty of sun and hot temperatures. Have you been able to really enjoy the sun?
You probably already know that our body can produce vitamin D3 in the skin when exposed to the sun. Handy right? Totally free and without any effort, you just have to go outside!
Vitamin D is a true all-rounder, which is absolutely essential for our immune system, healthy bones, good muscle function and many other processes in the body.
It's not as easy as you might think, because...
...according to various studies, most people in Germany are undersupplied. The results vary among the individual studies, but there is always an undersupply in 60-90% of the German population.
In the case of the studies, undersupply means that the amount of vitamin D in the blood is below 20 nanograms per milliliter - even in summer!

But if we can produce vitamin D ourselves through the skin, why are so many people undersupplied even in summer? From April to September, the sun should really boost vitamin D production in the skin, right?
In theory, yes. In practice, this is not so easy, even in summer. Most people still don't go out in the direct sun enough in summer and usually use far too much sunscreen! The use of sunscreen then prevents vitamin D3 synthesis.
But that's not all. The ability of the skin to produce vitamin D also decreases with age. Older people therefore often suffer from a vitamin D deficiency, even in summer.
Other risk factors for vitamin D3 deficiency that may apply to you:
- They mainly work indoors
- You are chronically ill
- They mostly wear long clothes, even in summer
- They have dark skin
- You are in need of care
- You are overweight
So should you also take a vitamin D supplement in summer?
Yes! Additional supplementation is important, especially if you fall into one or more risk groups
If you feel unsure, a blood test from your family doctor can also provide information about your own vitamin D level. Unfortunately, such a blood count still has to be paid for by yourself, although a deficiency is so widespread in Germany.
Because vitamin D3 “works synergistically” with vitamin K2, this vitamin is naturally present in our product.
Whether it's summer or winter, if you want to keep your vitamin D level up, our vitamin D3 + K2 from HS Activa is ideal.
Extra tip for natural sun protection: Coconut oil, together with olive oil, is one of the best oils that can be used for natural sun protection (SPF 8). Coconut oil also has a very pleasant smell and gives the skin a beautiful shine.
Enjoy the summer!
