Chicago, IL, December 15, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Mercola.com founder and natural health expert Dr. Joseph Mercola points to the decreased amount of sunlight during fall and winter as the culprit behind less-than-optimal health during those months.

“You may be suffering from the winter blues if you can’t concentrate and deal with stress, crave foods rich in carbohydrates and sugars, feel fatigued and socially withdrawn, lack enthusiasm in doing normal activities, and tend to oversleep. These symptoms can become severe if not treated,” Dr. Mercola warns.

Vitamin D is associated with higher levels of serotonin, the hormone implicated in elevated mood levels. It is best synthesized by the body through sunlight.

Dr. Mercola reveals that it’s unlikely for everyone to get enough vitamin D from sunlight exposure. Some people live in areas where there’s little sunlight, while those with darker skin tones need longer exposure.

“Optimize your vitamin D levels if you are serious about beating the winter blues, enjoying the holidays, and boosting your health all year round*,” says Dr. Mercola. He recommends plenty of sunlight exposure, vitamin D3 supplementation, or a healthy combination of both.

Dr. Mercola advises getting your vitamin D levels tested before and during vitamin D3 supplementation. Take the 25(OH)D or 25-hydroxyvitamin D test routinely to keep your vitamin D levels within the optimal range. Ideally your blood level of 25(OH)D should be 60ng/ml.

Dr. Mercola recommends age-appropriate vitamin D doses, including 5,000 units per day for adults and pregnant women.
