   I, myself, started out pretty much on the low end too.   But, after a   
   while the honeymoon period wears off and it gets down to busy.  Your   
   mood should improve within 30 days.   
      
   To me, my advanced age motivated moi to get my blood levels up as fast   
   as possible in order to avoid cancer.  In short, I take D to prevent   
   cancer.  ALL the other health benefits, merely come along with the   
   total package as nice extras.   
      
   Up the dosage a bit and your energy should improve.   
      
   Being on the high end blood level wise results in you being able to   
   feel it.  It is not so much about how I feel, as it is a more a   
   phenomenon of how OTHER people will react to the new you.  They seem   
   to think that being slightly hyper and full of energy as if you have   
   ADHD is an ABNORMAL condition.   
      
   The good thing about vitamin D is that no body can make any money off   
   of it.  5,000 IU a day can be had for less than ten cents a day.  Add   
   in the cost of the first two blood tests, then the figure jumps to 50   
   cents a day.   Once you figure out just how much D that you personally   
   should be taking by way of the blood testing those tests become pretty   
   much necessary.   
      
   Personally, I think all the uncertainly about how much D somebody   
   should be taking is grossly overdone for PC reasons.  The primary   
   factor is obviously body weight.  Extremely obese individuals will   
   need to be taking 10,000 IU a day.  So will individuals with digestion   
   problems.  Thus, individuals who are extremely short and low in body   
   weight would obviously need to be taking less.   People should be   
   applying the same logic to ALL their vitamin supplements, yet the   
   vitamin D people are the ONLY ones playing up this issue.   
      
   I recommend 5,000 IU for a number of reasons. That dosage is ideal for   
   somebody weighing 150 pounds.  There is the economy of sticking to one   
   pill size. It clearly indicates that the 400 IU dose, is positively   
   NOT what I am talking about.  Finally, 60% of the people in the States   
   are overweight.  Globally the obesity epidemic is just as bad, if NOT   
   worst thanks to the American food industry.
