Question: How long after taking a vitamin D supplement should I start to feel better?
Answers:
Vitamin D is suppressed if you take vitamin C, so you want to watch your calcium intake. Vitamin D is also produced when your skin is exposed to the sun. There is no assurance that the biochemists have isolated all the components of vitamin D (which is actually a hormone), so you will want to get some direct sunlight on your skin for 20 minutes a day or so. You should feel an immediate improvement.
As a precaution, you should also take a high dosage of vitamin D. This vitamin is not toxic in high dosages and people with SAD do better with higher dosages.
Dr. Neal Barnard
Take your vitamin D, but make sure you are also getting you vitamin B12 and iron. B12 and iron deficiencies also cause someone to be more easily tired (google it)...you could get a B12 and iron infusion by the doctor. i get a B12 injection every month, and i have energy now that i take them.
PS: go outside every day for some sunlight. sunlight gives you some vitamin D.
