Nature/evolution intended for us to make 20,000 - 40,000 IU per day from summer sun exposure. I tan 5 - 6 days per week year round using my own home tanning booth. Supplementation is not the ideal method of obtaining your vitamin d but if you don't have your own tanning unit at home and no access to a local commercial tanning salon then it (supplementaion) is the only viable alternative. Don't forget to take your vitamin K2 with your vitamin d. Non-burning, regular/ frequent, high UVB plus UVA like the equatorial sun we evolved under is the optimal balance. - Alan Sellen

It has long been my contention,after teaching in the North ,that all children should be given a daily dose of "D" at school.I firmly believed lack of the vitamin contributed to the high incidence of suicide.

I have been taking 5,000 units daily for several years. If I stop taking them daily, I notice an almost immediate change in a number of things but most specifically, it regulates my moods and keeps my Bi-Polar disorder at an even keel with out the use of drugs.
