I have found that if I take a D 3 supplement of 2000 IU a day, I do not just get relief from flu during the flu season, but I also get a year round benefit of improved mood and cheerfulness, and fewer bouts of asthma.

I have noticed that regular use of Sublingual B Complex, including B 12 at more than 1200 mcg per day, as well as doses of niacin of 20 mg, Riboflavin of 1.7 mg. and B-6 of 2 mg have improved my mood, and made me feel more cheerful.

I believe the kit to be extremely accurate. Just mailed the test off today for myself, dad, and sis. I've been supplementing 5000 IUs daily for about 2.5 months, my dad 6000 IUs for about 1.5 months, and my sis 2000 IUs for about 1.5 months. Once we get our results back, we'll adjust our supplemental dosages accordingly. If I remember to, I'll give you guys an update.

Thanks for the info, Mike. I wonder how accurate the kit is?

...which is why I just tested my dad's vitamin D levels this morning, and will be testing my own in just a few minutes. I'm using an in-home test kit that I bought here: www.zrtlab.com/Page.aspx

Thanks Vitamin D Council :-)
