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?

There are numerous studies showing that people in North America are all low in Vitamin D levels.
Vitamin D is obviously important, although like all vitamins, it probably effects everyone differently.
I supplement with anywhere from 5,000IU to 10,000IU per day, and according to my blood tests, my Vitamin D levels are perfect.
And I've been doing that for 4 years now.
