Hey guys,

For the past 1 year i have felt in a depressive mood with fatigue, lack of motivation and sleep issues. I did some blood tests at my family doctor and it turned out i have Vitamin D3 Deficiency! My levels were at 7,5 and the minimum should be around 30 - 40. My family doctor explained that this is the reason for my depression. She ordinated me to start taking daily Vitamin D3 supplements which would cure my "Depression" within weeks.

Have you checked your Vitamin D3 levels to rule out any need for antidepressants? Please do so, as low Vitamin D3 levels are directly connected to Depression!

I think a blood level of 7,5 is very low.

My was previously at 17, and is now in the 50s. I am still depressed. SHould probably be higher. But for me there are seemingly many factors.

BTW, apparently Vit D is best absorbed in the presence of Vit K, and possibly Vit A.

My vitamin D level tested was at 11 and is supposed to be in the 20's. After 2 months of the Rx-dosage of Vitamin D it's now at 27. There's a difference in energy at least.
