Reply to comment by enirgin in Vitamin D supplements linked to reduced risk of suicide, study of veterans finds by thebelsnickle1991

As a vet with PTSD, my worst downward spiral was when my Vit D was the lowest it’s ever been. I had to be put on max doseages for 6 months and will be taking a daily supplement the rest of my life to make sure it doesn’t happen again. Vit D, at least in my body, absolutely improves depressive symptoms.

Was it 10k or 20k ui? I know they got some mega doses out there. You can get too much eventually.

I take 5k right now in winter and prob 2k when I can go outside, and it’s not Hoth.

For the first 6 months it was 10k iu/day and 50k iu once a week. Now it’s 5k iu/day and in the winter I double it up every 3 days.
