Guest guest Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 I wanted to share with this group some information about Vitamin D a friend had sent me and my experience taking it. He said that after having heard some information from a few new studies on vitamin D, it was suggested that it may help boost immune system function and elevate mood. The theory is that one of the reasons people stay healthier and feel better in the Summer is that they are getting lots of sunlight and are producing a lot of vitamin D. He said that by taking 2000 iu per day, which his doctor suggested he do, he has been feeling healthier and happier. Also, another friend who is a nurse working the night shift, was fairly down in the dumps for quite a while. She was prescribed a bunch of vitamin D by her doctor because she was deficient (not getting much sun by sleeping days). She said she began feeling much better almost immediately, and wondered why this wasn't conventional wisdom for night shift workers. I too work at night when there is no sun. Taking Vitamin D has had a positive effect on me like it did for her. I noticed recently I've become more depressed over dealing with my 4S sound sensitivity etc., since Winter began. I started taking 4000 iu of Vitamin D a day for about a week now. I've noticed that I've been able to deal with my depression better and not brood over it so deeply. Physically I've been feeling better too. I wanted to pass this information along to anyone in this group who has been feeling more depressed lately. Vitamin D may help you as it has for me. Fortunately, vitamin D is fairly cheap! I was able to get about a 4 month supply for $6 at a local store where I live. All the best to you, Randall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
