Just got my labs back from my annual physical. As it's been for the past 4 years, my vitamin D is low (29ng/ml). I live in sunny southern California and am outside often. I have been taking vitamin D supplements (1000-5000IU a day) off and on for the past couple of months. It doesn't seem to matter much what I do the lab levels always come back in the 20s. I know that at one time my vitamin D levels were in the 40s, and it was when I was taking the Carlson's cod liver oil vitamin D, but who even knows if that was responsible for the higher level. My doctor does not seem much concerned about the low levels as they are supposedly common and I am "just below normal." But I think there is some relationship between my anxiety, depression (and perhaps even sleep apnea and inability to sleep well) and the low vitamin D levels. I don't know which one causes the other, but I think there is some causal relationship. What do others think about this?
