Yeah I came here to say this. I'm sure people do take vitamin D to stave off heart disease and cancer but that was never my intention.
I live in scandinavia so every autumn I start taking one vitamin D pill a day to keep my spirits up during the long darkness.
I believe it helps and I have no illusions of preventing any diseases with it, except winter depression.
- te_chris 8y agoCame to say this. I’ve lived in London for 3.5 years and first winter got really depressed - originally from NZ and we have more light. Tried meditation and exercise and it kind of worked, but still not great. Next one and all since just took vit D everyday and the change in mood through winter has been remarkable.
- gns24 8y agoWhat dosage did you take?
- ccozan 8y agoI take for example a 5000mg poll every two days. But in winter I take it every day.
- insertnickname 8y agoYou probably mean 5000 IU, which is equivalent to 125 micrograms (of vitamin D).
- mrhappyunhappy 8y agoI don’t remember where I read this but I heard 2000 IU is the minimum to be effective.
- mrhappyunhappy 8y agoThis is common knowledge to everyone who lives in PNW. It rains most of the time so people take vitamin D.
