Vitamin D really helps with depression.

Vitamin D supplements help people diagnosed with depression. In the future, the substance may become the basis of an alternative treatment option. These conclusions were reached by Australian and Finnish scientists in the course of a meta-analysis of 41 studies involving 53,000 people. Vitamin D is believed to help regulate the functions of the central nervous system. Also, animal experiments have shown that it is involved in controlling the chemical balance in the brain. This may explain the relief of symptoms of mental disorders. The biggest effect of vitamin D was in people who took it for less than three months. A typical dose is 50-100 micrograms per day.
