Ultraviolet Types (uv-a, Uv-b, Uv-c) Confusion With Vitamins Posted: 11-04-05 12:39pm


Does uv-a (the longer wavelength uv) promote folate (and dna) synthesis, or does it destroy folate? Similarly, uv-b promotes the precursor to vitamin-d in the body, correct? Which uv is responsible for the long term tanning (uv-a)? And burning (uv-b, uv-c)? Anyone heard of this?
