Vitamin D3
I tested my Vitamin D3 levels 5 weeks ago, then I took 12000 - 15000 IU a day (sublingual spray) and now I tested again:
my levels were at 31 ng/ml and rose to 139 ng/ml in these 5 weeks which means, that the spray is pretty effective.
my naturopath wants me to have levels between 180 and 230 but I am sceptical because of the research of Dr. Gominak http://drgominak.com/lecture who says 60-80 are best. This sounds quite convincing since Vitamin D is no vitamin but a hormone or a prohormone, and as with other hormones you don't want too little and you don't want too much either.
Anyway, I do sleep much better since taking the D3, more specifically I wake up less often at night and I can now sleep 6-7 hours in one go where before I managed 3 hours at most.
update 05/04/13: I now found a site listing natural Vitamin D levels in different groups.
I.e. lifeguards: Lifeguards: 163 nmol/L http://www.vitamindsociety.org/benefits.php
