Our Greatest Grandmother and Grandfather lived in the Horn of Africa. They hunted and gathered for thousands of years without clothing. They were exposed to LOTS of sunlight and so got LOTS of vit D. In fact today the Maasai and Hadzabe people of Tanzania have blood levels double that of most Industrialized individuals. Most of my patients have less than 20 ng/mL. Even if you live in Arizona you are covered up or in airconditioning most of the time.
