It's a biomarker but does it really mean anything?

High vitamin D seems to be associated with everything good like income and your team winning the Superbowl and low vitamin D seems to be associated with everything bad like being a disadvantaged minority or getting cancer or living in a high crime neighborhood.

There are so many studies where they give people Vitamin D and it seems to do absolutely nothing so I hear "Vitamin D" and I'm skeptical particularly if the endpoint is some biomarker and not some outcome like strokes or heart attacks or cancer or something.

Less sunlight exposure = faster biological aging?

Sun ages your skin though :(

interesting

Disregarding the difficulty of implementation is there any reason this wouldn't work internally?

Collagen isn't just for skin and a lot of more serious age related issues seem to be partially down to it's gradual loss.

Don’t know about internal phototherapy, I think GLP-1s are going to be a component. Excess sugar negatively impacts collagen via glycation.

I'm dead then.
