To add some "anecdata" to the discussion, vitamin d supplements changed my life. I learned that my vitamin d levels were super low (7 ng/ml, when less than 20 ng/ml is deficient) from a routine blood test. Within a month of taking vitamin d, my afternoon fatigue went away, it became much easier to wake up in the morning, my energy levels generally increased, and my mysterious colds that I was getting every 1-2 weeks that winter stopped.
I strongly recommend getting your vitamin d levels checked!
- crazygringo 8y agoYes, I had low levels as well in the winter only, and supplements made a big difference in my mood in the winter (and I verified my levels were back to a normal zone). So while these studies may be showing that vitamin D doesn't affect cancer, heart disease or strokes... that doesn't mean it's useless. YMMV.
