Well SupportedSun exposure, particularly UVB light, is associated with positive increases in the gonadal axis and sexual behavior, potentially enhancing male testosterone levels.Well SupportedSunlight exposure stimulates the production of beta-endorphins, which are important for immune system health and wound healing.Well SupportedSun exposure, specifically to narrow-band UVB, can positively modulate the human intestinal microbiome.Partially SupportedTanning beds that mimic the sun, with a UVA/UVB ratio like 95% UVA and 5% UVB, are a viable option for Vitamin D production when sun exposure is limited.Partially Supported

Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.

There is a lack of evidence showing tanning beds are uniquely damaging compared to the sun when intensity is controlled, time is limited, and burning is avoided.

Partially SupportedAndrosterone is a real androgen with approximately 1/7th the energetic activity of testosterone and may function as a pheromone.

Partially SupportedTanning beds do not increase cancer risk more than sunlight exposure, and skin cancer predisposition may be linked to excess seed oil consumption.

Partially SupportedGradually increase tanning bed exposure time, starting with minimal durations to avoid burning and develop a solar callus.

Partially SupportedTanning beds are more intense than the sun and require gradual exposure and avoiding sunburn.

Partially SupportedSunlight contains 3-5% UVB radiation, while some high-priced tanning beds may contain very little.

Partially SupportedWhen using tanning beds, seeking units with more UVB than typical high-priced models may be beneficial for adequate UVB exposure without burning.

Partially SupportedThe goal when using a tanning bed should be to avoid getting burned to enjoy UV light benefits without risks.

Partially SupportedMany latitudes above Phoenix, Arizona, experience a 'vitamin D winter' where the body cannot produce vitamin D from sun exposure.
