What does the new research about Vitamin D hold for the future of the indoor tanning industry?
The indoor tanning industry is ever changing, and one of the areas of most rapid change is what we know about Vitamin D. Technological advancements are made daily in the study of Vitamin D. We’re learning more and more about how Vitamin D can aid in the development of strong bones and strengthen immunity. But it’s the research into Vitamin D development through exposure to ultraviolet light that has TanFX really excited.
Medical advances in the research behind exposure to ultraviolet light:
With help from the J.C.T.A. (Joint Canadian Tanning Association) and the Vitamin D Society, TanFX Sun Tanning Studio is working hard to educate our clients on the effects of moderate exposure to ultraviolet light. Studies continue to reflect the correlation between moderate exposure to ultraviolet light and the development of Vitamin D. What does this mean for the indoor tanning industry in the future? We have already seen many guests who are educated about the benefits of increasing Vitamin D production through exposure to ultraviolet light. Through further education and training, as well as media support, the future of indoor tanning may be geared towards an exciting new audience of guests who are knowledgeable of their Vitamin D levels.
Current research links Vitamin D as a potential treatment to certain illnesses and disorders, including several skin-related conditions, SADS (Seasonal Affective Disorder), arthritis, some forms of cancers*, and osteoporosis.
With the support of a fantastic industry, as well as our education and passion for indoor tanning, we are working every day to ensure a bright future.
