Hello, DC and welcome to NeuroTalk.
Yes, Vit D is getting alot of attention right now. Whether it will work on PD is not well understood yet. But yes, it is very important, for many neuro issues, including depression.
Here is a link to a medical video:

Grassrootshealth.net has the newest information on blood levels to attain (50-60ng/ml) and also to take D3 for your supplement.
What is happening in doctors' offices now, is that they WILL test you, but often do not interpret the results accurately. They often accept 30ng as normal, and that is no longer accepted by the research.
Also doctors tend to use D2 50,000 IU RX and that is not ideal either. D3 is what you want. The basic rule of thumb is 1000IU per 10ng/ml needed increase, taken daily. This is not iron clad but it is a good approximation for dosing. D3 is quite inexpensive and is preferable in a liquigel form, not dry tablets or caps.
