Seattle checking in: my psychologist recommended 4000 IUs of vitamin D for me after the results of a blood test, and it's made a world of difference for the 9 months out of the year we don't nearly get enough sunlight.
Anecdote, sure, but checking this is something your general practitioner might not do on their own, so it's probably worth asking the next time you go in for a checkup.
- jp191919 4y agoTacoman here: same, my doc put me on vitamin D after a blood test revealed a deficiency.
- troydavis 4y agoAlso in Seattle and 4000 IU/day is the dose I landed at after testing my D levels, taking 2000/day for 6 months, and re-testing. 2k wasn’t enough, 4k was.
- vl 4y agoMy doctor in the Seattle area said that over the years all her patients tested with moderate to severe deficiency except one. I’m taking 5000 IU daily and it removed day sleepiness during winter months. Before taking it I would be just super sleepy during daytime.
