Been taking 10k IU of D3 for a few months now, managed to get my measurement from the teens or 20s into the 90s of whatever unit that's in. I believe 100 is the max of the healthy range. Can't tell the difference, but allegedly you're going to feel "worse" if you're low on this stuff.
It would be amusing to find out that it actually makes no difference at all and it's all placebo.

- kriffo 8y agoWe have plenty of data on the effect of D3 supplementation in rickets and iron-deficient anemia as well as mechanistic data that supports these conclusions.
- avinium 8y agoYeah, I've tried the same (my theory was it would help mitigate the effects of SAD through the long, dark winter). I've noticed no difference (though to be fair, it was hardly an empirical approach). I have a pretty well-rounded diet, so I assume I'm not deficient. I do think that fish oil makes a difference, at least in terms of exercise.
