Something I learned years ago about Vitamin D absorption is having natural body oils present on you skin. Historically before the advent of soap they washed with water and olive or other oils and worked outside, hence no D shortage. Today with all these chemical infused soaps, sunscreens, makeup and overly bathing, its nearly impossible for most people to get D from the sun in there cubicle. This is why they "fortify" milk and other foods with it. Jest of it all: give up chemicals on your body, get outside, expose some skin and work up a sweat. Then take a D supplement and other vitamins and minerals, they all have to work together.
