The usage of sunscreen has grown during the last several decades. The fact that more people are aware of sunscreen's ability to protect against illness, wrinkles, dark spots, and skin tanning is one of the main reasons for this rise in use. In the lowest epidermal layer of the skin, exposure to sunshine is the main catalyst for the transformation of ace vitamin D (7-hydrocholestrol-derived vitamin D) into pre vitamin D. sadly; there aren't many sources of vitamin D in food. The most expensive sources are fish liver oil and fatty fish like salmon, mackerel, and trout, whereas egg yolks, cheddar, and hamburger liver have lower concentrations. This study's goal was to ascertain what sunscreen meant for vitamin D synthesis in females who had just been diagnosed with hypovitaminosis D at various sites. In order to learn more about the 213 people who had just been diagnosed with hypovitaminosis D, a survey was sent to them. Out of 213 respondents, 159 (74.64%) used sunscreen regularly and had blood vitamin levels between 3.69 and 11.48 ng/ml. Only 54 (25.35%) individuals who had blood vitamin levels between 9.27 and 18.93 ng/ml and only sometimes used sunscreen. Most people contend that using sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or higher may prevent the formation of vitamin D by inhibiting UVB radiation. Additional investigation with a larger example size would be crucial for better understanding.
