I’m waking up each morning exhausted. Wondered if a Vit D supplement might help as I know we in the UK are advised to take one in winter.

Any advice which one is best please?

I don’t really want one with added calcium as my calcium intake is good already and I know that too much is as bad as too little (Ca that is)

You might feel exhausted due to various reasons. Vitamin D deficiency can be one of the reasons. It is better to visit a doctor. He/she will recommend you appropriate tests and treatment.

Vitamin D takes a couple of months to take effect, apparently.

My husband takes innopure vitamin d3 4000 iu. There is good evidence that we are not getting enough d3 and it is more important than we used to think.
It is vegetarian (not sure this matters to you).
I would suggest no more than 4000 iu if you intend to take it daily.
