I can actually feel this working. I’m a darker skinned African American male, who I’m sure doesn’t get enough Vit D from the little sun exposure that I already get. I figured with the growing research being done on Vit D and all of it’s possible benefits that I’d give these a shot, they work particularly well with my sleep. I don’t know what it is but since taking these I sleep like a rock, and my dreams are a bit more active. I can’t say that I’ve noticed any improvement in my areas of energy, other than that of the better sleep I get at night. No improvements seen as of yet in cognitive function, but I’m just one month in on a three capsule dose daily. I make sure to take after my heaviest meal everyday, because these are fat soluble you must take with fattier foods for better absorption. I bought another bottle, plan to take for another two months to see all of any possible benefits and then decrease my dosage to 2000 IUs just to stay consistent once i’m in the clear of any deficiencies. But all in all, a supplement that I’m sure actually works, if anything as a great natural sleeping aid.
