First Human Test (of its kind)...
A study published December 05, 2019 by the European Society for Gastroenterology and Motility found that UVB exposures over a one-week period increased the gut microbiota diversity in humans. The study was led by Dr. Bruce A. Vallance from the University of British Columbia and the Women’s Health Research Institute in Vancouver (Canada). Skin exposure to UVB light increased "alpha (within-subject) and beta diversity (between-subjects) in the gut microbiota" in subjects who have not taken vitamin D supplements before the study. The study showed increases in key strains such as Lachnospiraceae, Ruminococcus, and Clostridiaeae.

UVB exposures over a one-week increased the gut microbiota diversity of the group with vitamin D insufficiency to the same level as that of the group that started the study with sufficient serum vitamin D levels. The exposure to UVB positively influenced key gut microbiota such as Lachnospira and Fusicatenibacter.

This is the first study that reports changes in the human gut microbiota in response to UVB light. As decreased exposure to UVB light. Decreased vitamin D production has been associated with the rise in chronic inflammatory diseases. Previous studies relating UVB light to gut microbiota have been conducted on mice. Herbsprout previously reported on UBC's earlier research on the subject. Visit this link to read more, http://en.bloguru.com/healthtech/359925/how-does-ultraviolet-light-influence-our.
