As a dark-skinned developer, I used to feel terrible when I was in Germany/US for over 2 months - to the point of being suicidal. It was like my body and mind was breaking down. Colds, migraines, illness, body aches, joint pain. Only later was I diagnosed with acute vitamin-D deficiency.

Vitamin-D supplements turned around my life like a miracle. Nowadays I pop myself with every single vitamin-<anything> tablet in the market.

I tried Sunlight, but Sunlight in northern latitudes is a joke.

If you have darker skin yes. But I always thought that white skin is an evolutionary adaptation to the reduced levels of sunlight available at Northern latitudes.

It's more about the colour of skin * place of residence interaction than anything else.
