From what I can tell, everyone in Canada will be low on vitamin D in winter months, and it seems to be nearly impossible to get to those ideal levels through food and sunshine alone?

Studies on Vit D supplementation for colon and breast cancer are quite convincing. Many pain and rheumatology specialists are increasingly prescribing it, though I personally haven't looked or seen any evidence for it. We do have some evidence for it's use in SAD as well. I can't as of yet see a downside. I take 2000iu daily myself. Benefits>>>>> risks
