Yes, take some vitamin D if you get this too. I’m more active outside now in the winter so I don’t need as much, but the vitamin D does help.

    Basically every westerner has a vitamin D deficiency, as we don't spend all day long outside anymore.

    So go get some D prescribed, because deficiency accelerates dementia and a whole slew of mental disorders.

    You could spend lots of time in the sun to alleviate the D vitamine deficiency but that'll get you skin cancer instead.

    What's the benefit of a prescription over just buying a bottle at a pharmacy? Would it be covered under insurance if prescribed?

    In Europe you can't just buy any medication like that over the counter (not in France anyway), and yes I guess it's also about cost.

    Really? What about omega 3 fish oil or melatonin?

    I was talking about medication, like I take one big dose a year.
