I'm seeing a lot of patients feeling the winter blahs and when I ask them if they are taking their vitamin D, most are not. Vitamin D is the "sunshine" vitamin and when we are lacking the sun or it is too cold to go outside our vitmain D levels deplete. Most blood work I see, people are depleted in vitmain D stores. Vitamin D is essential for healthy bone formation, is immune modulating, anti-cancer and mood enhancing!
The easiest way I think to take it is the liquid form. I like the 1000IU dose. My kids take 1 drop per day and we take 3 drops. I simply squeeze the drops onto a clean finger, spoon or on top of one of the kids chewable mutli-vitamins and voila done!
