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?
