According to what I read in a newspaper article, the recommended dose is much lower, at 800.
- moritzwarhier 9mo agoAccording to the internet, it is way higher, probably over 9000. Edit because the comment might be to shallow for HN: I sympathize with the struggle against depression and, after first-hand experience, share the skepticism against the widespread prescription of antidepressants and the methods of evidence presented for it. Very serious and important topic. Regarding Vitamin D, I am also supplementing in the Winter, but I have not read the article, which says it has an estimated reading time > 10min. I use one 1000IE (0.025mg according to the package) tablet a day max. I'll bookmark this discussion page to read TFA later maybe.
- voisin 9mo agoIt’s important to take Vitamin D, as a fat soluble vitamin, with dietary fat during a meal. Something about bile production and absorption. Also important to take it with Vitamin K.
- moritzwarhier 9mo agoYes, I remember that and have Vitamin D+K combo tablets with calcium. Seems like it would be best to increase time spent outdoors though.
