> Vitamin D3 is pretty much the only Thing that WHO recommends for most to all People. Ist the only Thing People are frequently deficient in.in my experience, nothing can replace the benefits of getting enough sunlight has on mood. im sure many of us have heard just being in the sun increases the bodys Vitamin D. but i have been taking a Vitamin D3/Magnesium/Calcium/Zinc supplement supplement, and its listed as having 100% of the daily recommended ammount of D3. while i dont think ive noticed much benefit since ive been taking it for about two months, i still make sure i get direct sunlight everyday for at least 20 minutes. afterwards i notice a lightening of my mood. it works best when i go for a walk on a sunny day.
i dont know if this is true or not, but i remember reading that having a window between you and sunlight doesnt provide the the Vitamin D benefits that direct sunlight provides. so driving in your car with sun shining through the windows on a sunny day doesnt count.
