The research I've done on Vitamin D says that sunscreen will block some of the body's ability to produce Vitamin D. And it stated you needed to be outside for 20 minutes without sunscreen to get the full effects and that is not good so you should supplement.
I take 10000 mg. a day. I did notice a difference when I let myself run out.
And there is research to show that vitamin D is linked to certain cancers. I mean the lack thereof.

Phillipa, it ok to take that much when you have thyroid issues. I have them too and it was the doc that found that i have thyroid issues who suggested I really needed vitamin D. My levels were 25 during the summer. It was in July I was tested and doc said my levels should be closer to 200.
