Over 40% of US adults are vitamin D deficient, which raises the question: does artificial sunlight give you vitamin D? The short answer is yes, but only certain types of artificial light produce the specific ultraviolet B (UVB) rays needed for your body to synthesize this crucial nutrient. This is not a simple 'yes' or 'no,' as it involves specific equipment and important safety considerations.
