A MUST for people with SAD
I have a long history of Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), in addition to regular depression/anxiety. Antidepressants have helped substantially with my day to day depression, but every year like clockwork when the days start getting short, I feel the familiar 'winter blues' creeping up on me. I had my Vitamin D levels checked this past winter and they were a 6, which is ridiculously lower than the recommended 50 or higher. My doctor suggested a mood light, so I purchased one and didn't notice much of a difference. It was also not very convenient, especially trying to find the time to sit in front of it with my toddlers running around, so I decided to switch to an oral supplement. I went with this one because I really don't like swallowing pills. I have the gag reflex of a 2 year old, so any time I can have a liquid option, I am all for it. I was initially worried about the taste, but as several of the other reviews have said, it is completely tasteless. I'm sensitive to weird tasting things (again, 2 year old gag reflex) and this doesn't bother me at all. I just drop a few under my tongue every morning and go about my day. I had been taking this for several weeks when my husband mentioned to me that I seemed a lot happier than last winter, and I agree. Am I skipping around the house, crazy happy? No, but that awful, heavy, weight that I have gotten every winter for as long as I can remember is significantly diminished. The difference to me has been night and day. I'm not a medical professional, but if you struggle with SAD, I would definitely ask your doctor about getting your Vitamin D levels checked, and I very much recommend this supplement.
