Firm believer in Vit D supp, i try to get about 40 minutes of sun whenever possible in the summer with no shirt and no sunscreen. My last test which was in Feb 2017 for Vit D I was at 47.3, thats on 5,000iu daily although i do miss a dose here and there. Also think it helps offset Seasonal Affective Disorder which is mostly a midwest/cold climate thing.
