Anyone else tried vitamin D supplements? I've heard of people taking vitamin D when they're not getting enough natural light (basements, winter months, etc)

I take 6000IU per day. The combination of living in the midwest and working indoors all the time is detrimental, and so vitamin D has become an important part of my supplementation regimen.

You know better than me, but are you sure that's a healthy dose? The recommended daily intake is a magnitude less, and vitamin D is fat soluble, meaning you can overdose on it.

Some consider it as the proper dose in certain Northern climates. https://www.vitamindcouncil.org/
