If you’ve been taking supplements double check the dose. Due to potential errors in some clinical data, the longstanding recommended dose was potentially 1/5- 1/10 what it should have been.
ETA: I’m not going to provide medical advice, and it is quite controversial, but speak with your doctor. There are a few papers out there discussing it (The original one is [here](https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4210929/), there are several follow ups that agree/disagree with it) . Governments often still recommend a lower dose.
For the past several years, I’ve been taking an amount of vitamin D daily (not medical / health advice) that most people might assume should have killed me by now. I haven’t needed to call in sick once since 2019. Before I started taking vitamin D, I **never** went an entire year without at least a couple of sick days.

Where do I get the Vitamin D supplements, how, and how to afford them, when I can’t get a job and live on AISH?
One method I found very effective to increase vitamin D levels and reduce SAD was to move to California.
As long as I only stay in Canada May-September, things are OK.
Make sure to take it with K2, which is surprisingly important.
I have to buy my Vitamin D3 from the US because it comes in significantly larger doses, not to mention wildly cheaper.
Make sure to supplement with vitamin K and Magnesium as well. That is all.
Chocolate-flavoured vitamin D tablets during the winter solves the problem.
Buy the liquid form, which is usually 1000iu per drop, I just drip 5 on my tongue along with a Magnesium pill every morning.
That’s basically the only supplements 90% of the population needs.
What is the actual right dose? Recommendations are all over the place
Make sure to get suppositories, more effective
Just a friendly reminder that reddit is notoriously bad at giving medical advice and that [supplements can be dangerous](https://www.verywellhealth.com/side-effects-of-popular-supplements-11757875) to your health – talk to a real medical professional before taking any of the half baked advice you find in the comment section!
From the article:
In 2022, under its food fortification strategy, Health Canada created a new regulation that allowed companies to voluntarily more than double the amount of vitamin D in cow’s milk, goat’s milk and nearly double it in margarine
putting out there that you can ask you family dr for bloodwork to check your levels in winter.
I’m on 2500IUs daily and still struggle to stay in the optimal range. I’m glad it’s finally getting more attention on how important vitamin D is. Low levels have been linked as a risk to developing MS, according to my MS neurologist. So get checked and supplement!
Wow even the government is telling me I don’t get enough D in my life :((((((((
