Reddit mentions of Life Extension Vitamins D and K with Sea-Iodine, 60 Capsules

Quick note: I know this is long and it seems to have nothing to do with your question, but stick with me. (or read the TLDR at the end)

I agree with with both OtherMadness and Pumpinator.

I lost the love of my life 10 years ago by acting like your husband is currently acting and I can say that even if the job has gotten harder/busier/etc, job stress is just an excuse. I didn't know it at the time, but I was depressed.

Since she left me, I've spent the past 10 years of my life in that same funk, frequently sleeping till noon because I saw no point in getting up. (I loved her, but I certainly got over her long ago, so it wasn't depression from losing her.) I let my career and subsequent relationships (both romantic and friends) go to ruin because I just didn't care about anything other than basic survival (and even then, that seemed pointless.)

My saving grace was that I've always been an avid reader. Over the past few years, the mounting evidence that everyone is Vitamin D deficient and the list of ills that it seems to cure caught my attention. There are many articles, here are just a handful:

• Current RDA was calculated incorrectly and is 1/10th what it should actually be (800IU vs 8000IU)
  
  
• vitamin D could affect brain function
  
  
• Most people in the modern world have lifestyles that prevent them from acquiring the levels of vitamin D that evolution intended us to have.
  
  In any case, after reading so many accounts of people reporting seeing such a variety of positive physical and mental changes in their life (search Reddit boards for anecdotal evidence) that I figured it wouldn't hurt to give it a try. The top thing that caught my attention was with people saying that it cured their depression. (by this point, I started coming around to realize that maybe I was depressed... yes, I'm dense)
  
  So I started taking 6000IU per day. This was 4 weeks ago.
  
  I know this is going to sound bizarre - and if I wasn't living this and seeing the changes happen to me, I'd be extremely skeptical.
  
  In the past month, I've been a totally different person. I wake up early (4am for the gym), I stay up late (studying and reading), I've taken 12 weeks worth of online courses in just the last 4 weeks, my mood is totally changed and I've gone on a series of interviews to get my career and life back on track. For the first time in a long time, I feel like putting effort into life is worth it again.
  
  I can't guarantee that this is his problem, but the similarity of your husband's behavior to how I lost my girlfriend 10 years ago just compelled me to post a comment.
  
  The changes in me have been so profound that I can't stop telling family and friends about it. I know I sound like a nut, but I don't care - my life has drastically changed and I wish I could just shout this from the mountaintops so everyone could experience this for themselves.
  
  Some cautions:
  Vitamin D is fat soluble, so it is possible to overdose on it. You should aim to get your level above 50 ng/ml. (Most people are in the 15-35 range)
  
  Go and ask your doctor for a Vitamin D 25-oh blood test to establish your current levels, then start taking the high dose and get checked out again every month or two.
  
  You will need to find a doctor that keeps up to date on modern literature, because these findings are just coming out now and most doctors stop learning the moment they leave medical school.
  
  Short example:
  since the 50's we've been told that pork and eggs will give us high cholesterol. Studies in the 90's definitively squashed that myth, but doctors to this day still repeat that garbage, putting everyone's health at risk.
  
  So find yourself an open-minded doctor that is willing to monitor your husband every month or two if he starts taking these megadoses of Vitamin D. My nutritionist recomemends a level of 50+ ng/ml.
  
  I highly recomemend LifeExtension brand because they reinvest part of their profits into research. Whatever you do, make sure you look at the ingredients and avoid anything with vegetable oil or canola oil, which is literally toxic. Here's what I use: https://www.amazon.com/Life-Extension-Vitamins-Sea-Iodine-Capsules/dp/B00HFEFKO0/
  
  tldr;
  
  
• I lost the love of my life acting the same way your husband is acting, spent 10 years depressed without knowing it
  
  
• Take megadoses of Vitamin D (anywhere from 5000 to 8000IU, yes five-thousand to eight-thousand, that's not a misprint)
  
  
• Whether you think you're depressed or not, recent scientific studies have found that RDA has been 1/10th of what it should be and everyone can benefit from increasing their Vitamin D intake
  
  
• There are still plenty of doctors who think that eating pork gives you high cholesterol even though the scientific literature from over 20 years ago refutes that. It will take years or decades for your family doctor to catch on to this new info about Vitamin D, so find a doctor or nutritionist who "gets it" and is willing to monitor your levels frequently.
