Hi, Jerry.  My chiropractor suggested I take 5,000 mg. of D3 during the winter months and I have to say, I noticed an improvement in my mood.  I still take a smaller dose the rest of the year because I'm not much of an outdoors person and burn easily, but I know it's supposed to also help the absorption of calcium, which is an issue for me, as well.

Anyway, a little off the subject, but it's another vitamin people should get checked for, too.
