If you are young, and not taking cholesterol lowering medications, you should be making Vit D with sun exposure.
Age (elderly), and those statin drugs reduce the ability for sun exposure to work well.
I don't take my D3 in summer for that reason, as well.
If your skin is tanning, then longer exposures are needed perhaps, as the tan blocks some UV.
