Hi, I've tried large amounts of D3 like you mentioned above in the past and noticed no difference. Had a long overdue physical a month ago, and my D levels were were normal. Thyroid was checked recently as well and was on the low side of normal. Only thing that wasn't in the normal range was cholesterol which wasn't surprising since shoving food in my face has been one of the main ways I've dealt with depression in the last few years since I stopped drinking so much.
