With this Vit D deficiency, I was feeling extremely mooody. I got much better taking 5,000 units a day. Then I ran out and didn't refill. I noticed a difference in my moods straight away. so did my family. Once I got back on Vit D I got much better in a couple of days. I plan to never run out again! This has a been a God send for me. And, it's not a drug which is even better!

When my dr. tested my blood levels, they were rock bottom. I take vitamin D3 daily now, feel much better (pain, mood.) One thing I've found out: take vitamin D3 in the morning! Taking at night may interfere with sleep. Make sure there is fat or oil in meal when you take the vitamin, also, to help absorb.

I'm a 44 y.o. woman who was always tired and always complained to my husband about my bones and muscles hurting all the time. Went and had my annual check up and my Dr. did my annual labs and they came back that my vit d levels were extremely low so she had me start vit D3 50,000 iu once a day and after taking that first week I noticed a change immediately. I feel so much better and I don't ache like I use to these pills are amazing and I'm so happy and starting to feel myself again.

I am a 44 year old woman who is always tired, after taking this vitamin D3 I felt so much better. I am more awake and alert and find myself wanting to do more things. I have no no aide effects, but even if I did so what. The pros outweigh the cons.

I started taking Vitamin D3 hoping it would help my bones and joints. I had a blood test and it told me I was low. The only problem is that I seem to be allergic to the Vitamin D3 supplement. My joint pain is better but I don't think I can tolerate the nausea much more. I live in the Northwest where the sun doesn't shine often. I need to move.

Have been taking 4,000iu of D3 for about 2 years. I have noticed that I am less moody than I was before taking this. I also have anxiety and depression. I feel less muscle pain and more happier taking this.

I was experiencing muscle aches and joint pain but once I took the time release d3 1000 unit, my pain disappeared. I am convince Vitamin D3 is the answer to joint/muscle aches
