We live in one of the sunniest countries on earth, yet nearly one in four Australian adults was low in vitamin D in the last national survey. In this episode I look at why that happens, who is most likely to run low, how to get enough sun without getting burnt (Cancer Council's simple UV rule), and when a vitamin D test or supplement actually makes sense.
