I have a bunch of chronic health issues and have been recommended to take Vitamin D for about 15 years or more - my brother has MS and requires it as well. We both feel like direct sun works better than the supplement but our doctors both insist we use a supplement. I do, because I listen to my doctor, but I also make sure I get outside every day. I don't "tan", I just hang out outside every day (this is easy because my son is always interested in a bike ride or whatever). In the Winter it is more difficult as I live in a more northern city in Canada but I make it work.

I've also found that the direct light-on-my-eyeballs has a big difference in waking me up and making me active.
