WHAT NATURE INTENDED - VITAMIN D THRU YOUR SKIN
The best way to get Vitamin D is how nature intended - made by natural sunshine on your skin. Your Skin is the largest organ of your body, and performs many important functions, including regulating your body's temperature. Your Skin also regulates the amount of Vitamin D that is made and absorbed thru Your Skin to your body. In this way, Your Skin works to Optimize your Vitamin D Levels. Unfortunately, our indoor lifestyles prevent our Skin from getting enough sunshine to make and Optimize our Vitamin D Levels.
When we don't get enough Sunshine, we need to supplement what we get from nature. There are 2 primary delivery forms for Vitamin D supplements:
why transdermal absorption is better?

More Natural
You were designed by Mother Nature to get most of your Vitamin D through your skin. Human skin naturally contains a precursor molecule that is converted to Vitamin D3 when exposed to UVB rays, a special spectrum of Sunshine rays. Vitamin D3 remains stored in your skin for up to 48 hours or more, as it is gradually absorbed over time thru your skin, into your capillaries and bloodstream. This Vitamin D3 is also known as "Parent" Vitamin D compound.
Key Points of what Nature intended:
Key Points of what Nature intended:
- Creation of Parent Vitamin D3 both in and on the surface of your Skin
- A store of Parent Vitamin D3 in and on the surface of your Skin
- Transdermal absorption of Parent Vitamin D3 into your bloodstream
- Gradual and steady release of Parent Vitamin D3 for up to 48 hours
"humans living in a natural state make a significant proportion of vitamin D on the surface of their skin for later absorption."
Sustained And Stable
Your brain and body need a steady supply of Vitamin D and use it every minute of every day. This need can be better supplied through a sustained, timed release patch than through a pill. Recent research has concluded that "for the optimal functioning of these systems (autocrine/endocrine), significant vitamin D should be available on a daily basis to ensure stable circulating concentrations". For more information on this recent and evolving research, click the button below.
As Science continues to research dosing, metabolites and other Vitamin D aspects, we can look to Mother Nature for guidance. A supply of the Parent form of Vitamin D that is absorbed over time, as Nature intended, assures a sustained and stable supply of both the Parent form and its metabolites. An oral pill can lead to spikes and valleys in the level of Parent Form Vitamin D3 due to initial absorption and then relatively short half-life.
"cutaneous production of vitamin D3 results in a gradual and more sustained plasma availability of vitamin D and its bioactive product, 25-hydroxy vitamin D,"
MORE Effective
Significantly more Vitamin D reaches your bloodstream, your brain and organ tissues, and it does so more timely, when absorbed thru your skin. Your digestive system degrades and eliminates most of the Vitamin D ingested in pill form, and it takes 3 to 4 hours to digest. Bariatric surgery and certain disease states that compromise the digestive tract can restrict ability to absorb vitamins and nutrients. Also, 10% of those over age 65 and 25% of those over 75 do not absorb Vitamin D through the digestive system.
There are various clinical studies showing the effectiveness and safety of transdermal absorption of vitamins and nutrients. The graph below shows the results of a recent study showing transdermal absorption is over 5 times more effective than pills and other oral forms.

Controlled & Optimized
Your body is designed with multiple positive feedback loops that feed back into themselves. Put another way, your body is designed to optimize its own function, given the chance. Your skin works in conjunction with your body to adapt to its environment and self-regulate both creation and absorption of nutrients, vitamins and minerals based on your body's needs and existing levels. For example, your skin not only sends signals (erythema or sunburn) if it reaches its daily capacity for Vitamin D production, but also starts degrading and eliminating any excess Vitamin D.
Your digestive system is less reliable and can cause inconsistencies with absorption of pills and other oral forms, dependent on factors such as the type and quantity of food in the digestive system, time of day, etc. Transdermal absorption is naturally better suited to control and optimize Vitamin D in relation to your body's fluctuating needs, in balance with other vitamins and minerals, including calcium, magnesium, zinc, boron, and vitamin K.

Safer
Controlled clinical studies show that transdermal delivery is the superior method for vitamins and supplements. The risk of getting too much Vitamin D is reduced by your skin's adaptive and self-regulating mechanisms. Oral supplements can be difficult to swallow, and can cause stomach irritations, bloating and gas. Your gut bacteria and yeast feed on oral supplements which increases their numbers and leads to increased fermentation. When foods are fermented instead of being digested, it can result in noxious products such as alcohol, hydrogen sulphide and others. These can overload your liver detox system and have the potential to inhibit certain body and brain functions.
The Sun Kiss'D patch ingredients are registered food supplements that are considered safe for human consumption, and the adhesive is designed to not irritate the skin.

"Oral supplementation of vitamin D is ineffective, unnatural, and possibly dangerous; hence, a means of supplying vitamin D in cases of inadequate exposure to sunlight is needed. " |
PROMOTES Hormone balance
What are Hormones? Hormones act to influence metabolic pathways, cellular functions, and the expression of myriad genes. Hormones are like tiny messengers that transmit information from one part of your body to another. Most hormones are produced by glands (the skin is a gland) located throughout your body and are collectively known as the “endocrine system.” Once the gland produces their respective hormones, these hormones are secreted or absorbed into your bloodstream where they travel to all parts of your body looking for particular cells. Each cell has receptor sites (imagine a locked door) for specific hormones (imagine the matching key), which can open and enter the cell. Once inside your cells, hormones go to work flipping on and off switches that govern pretty much every function in your body. Hormones don’t last forever and must be made and released at precise times to maintain optimal balance within your body.
Vitamin D is actually a Hormone. In fact, it is the most ancient and original hormone present in all living organisms. It has been called the "Sunshine Hormone". Like all Hormones, the Sunshine Hormone must be made and released at precise times to maintain optimal balance of it, as well as all other Hormones of your body. Precise timing of release is better accomplished when there is a "stable and steady" supply of the Sunshine Hormone. A stable and steady supply may be provided by timed release transdermal absorption. A stable and steady supply is not likely achieved with an oral supplement.

Simple & more convenientPills can be difficult to swallow, and difficult to remember to take. With a transdermal patch, you take one off, and apply another each day. Easy application of the patch avoids hassles of oral supplements or relying on more sun exposure. Simplicity and convenience results in more consistent use, which is critical to getting the full benefits of the "Sunshine Hormone".
