According to what I read in a newspaper article, the recommended dose is much lower, at 800.

According to the internet, it is way higher, probably over 9000.

Edit because the comment might be to shallow for HN: I sympathize with the struggle against depression and, after first-hand experience, share the skepticism against the widespread prescription of antidepressants and the methods of evidence presented for it.

Very serious and important topic.

Regarding Vitamin D, I am also supplementing in the Winter, but I have not read the article, which says it has an estimated reading time > 10min. I use one 1000IE (0.025mg according to the package) tablet a day max.

I'll bookmark this discussion page to read TFA later maybe.

It’s important to take Vitamin D, as a fat soluble vitamin, with dietary fat during a meal. Something about bile production and absorption.

Also important to take it with Vitamin K.

Yes, I remember that and have Vitamin D+K combo tablets with calcium.

Seems like it would be best to increase time spent outdoors though.

There's likely significant individual variation in bioavailability. I would start with 2-5K/day, then measure and iterate.
