The morning sun is not rich in vitamin D, rather vitamin D is made in the skin
from 7-dehydrocholesterol when exposed to sunlight so it induces vitamin D
production and it takes two hydroxylation reactions in the body for it to activate
(Bikle, 2012; Nair & Maseeh, 2018).
3. How are the three concepts related: Morning sun exposure, Vitamin D and
bone formation?
