by: R. M. Sayre1, J. C. Dowdy, and J. G. Shepherd, titled
"Reintroduction of a classic vitamin D UV source."
"
Beginning around 1930 sunlamps claiming to provide ultraviolet
(UV) exposure to make vitamin D were sold to the
public in the US and Canada for home use. Demand for such
lamps declined, following the advent of vitamin D fortification of foods, until they were generally discontinued about
1960. With the recent realization that even with dietary supplementation
many people do not get enough solar UV exposure
to maintain sufficient vitamin D levels, there has been
growing interest in the availability of sunlamps for this purpose.
The original Sperti Sunlamp consisted of a filtered intermediate
pressure mercury lamp, approved by the American
Medical Association in 1940 as a sunlamp, with a label
claim noting that vitamin D would occur due to exposure.
In an intermediate pressure mercury lamp’s spectrum are
Ultraviolet B emission lines at 297, 302, and 313 nm able
to convert 7-dehydrocholesterol in the skin to previtamin-D3
initiating the natural process of vitamin D formation. Today’s
KBD vitamin D Lamp, an updated model of the earlier
type source, still employs an intermediate pressure mercury
source. However, in order to comply with modern safety
guidance, the source is better filtered to remove unnecessary
UVC radiation and is equipped with a timer to control the
dose administered. The 5 minute timer provides an exposure,
at 20 inches from the user’s skin, of 1 Standard Erythemal
Dose (SED). ..."
