OnMarket has successfully completed the Solar D equity crowdfunding campaign. Solar D is a company that licences Vitamin D promoting SPF technology.  Solar D is the first to market with a new technology that aims to tackle the global issue of Vitamin D deficiency.

In January 2018, I wrote a blog outlining a simple strategy that had produced pretty amazing returns over the previous 4 years. Recently, I spent a bit of time in the bush with no internet or TV. It got me thinking, how has it gone for the people that read the blog and started the strategy at that point in time?

Solar D was specifically designed to let in more of the UVB light so our bodies can produce more vitamin D without sacrificing the Sun Protection Factor (SPF).

Vitamin D is important in maintaining good wellbeing, however, it is important that sun protection is not sacrificed in order to achieve our required vitamin D levels. No other sunscreen has been able to create this technology.

It’s estimated that there are over 1 billion people worldwide that are considered vitamin D deficient. Even in Australia, despite the abundance of sunshine, studies show that over one third of Australians are vitamin D deficient.
