Hi,

There is a LOT of information out there right now about the association between many conditions and diseases, and low levels of serum Vitamin D.

I've been supplementing with D for awhile at 2000 IU's day, probably for 5-6 months. I had routine labs drawn recently and threw in a D level and it was 14. That's deficient by this lab's standards. They say 30-80 is ideal.

This is probably a more complex issue than simply adding a supplement although there does not seem to be any major downsides to trying a supplement.
