These prescriptions seem to always lack the amount of exposed skin. Is exposed hands enough or should one be naked?

Yeah the time is dependent, I just try to think of like our evolutionary history, pre clothes and where your ancestors are from. So I try to sunbathe by the pool during the summer. But if you work indoors, cholecalciferol is useful and you can get the blood tests for your levels.

The guidance is usually given for exposed arms and legs.
