There are some places offering OTC D3 in a 5000Ui strength.
It is important to note that the study was a one time dose of 100,000ui - not 100,000 every day.
Taking 5,000/day would keep the level up. I took 15,000 the first day and started felling better within 12 hours.
The study name was Vitamin D vs broad spectrum phototherapy in the treatment of seasonal affective disorder
A link to an abstract of the study is here:
