Best Answer

Vitamin D is formed in the skin by the action of light on the skin, particularly ultra-violet light. Sunlight or a tanning bed will provide the necessary light.

Sunlight shining through a window will work, but the window glass will absorb a lot of the necessary untraviolet radiation, so it will be a diminished effect.

No, you cannot absorb Vitamin D through a window. Glass windows block the majority of UVB rays, which are necessary for the skin to produce Vitamin D when exposed to sunlight. In order to effectively absorb Vitamin D, direct exposure to sunlight without a barrier like glass is needed.
