Hello, all! As the title says, I’ll be moving to Finland in a week. I’m an African coming for a bachelor’s degree at TUNI. While I’ve had a lot of advice from TUNI student tutors and articles from different sites, any not-so-known or underrated one you have will be very much appreciated.

Thank you!

    I’d say most people should try using D-vitamin supplements during winter.

      Okay. What?

      Am I the exception here? I don’t do D-vitamin supplements at all. Although I do occasionally take (drink) multivitamin “fizzy tab” after I have woken up. I’ve been thinking to drop it. It seems to only taste good.

      EDIT: South-eastern finn here writing this.

        You can take a bloodtest to find out whether you have a deficit. I once did and vitamin D was the only value outside the boundaries.

        I take my D-vitamin supplements as multivitamin “fizzy tab” after I’ve woken up. That’s still taking D-vitamin supplements.

          Yes it is.

          But I’ve been thinking of stopping taking any supplements. Sometimes I’ve been without any for few weeks and I see (feel) no difference.

          I think I’ll test how I manage without any supplements trough the darker season.

            Yea, sure. I like to use them because I am much less tired myself, but a lot of my friends don’t notice any difference so go for it. The worst case scenario is you know better if you want to take or not to take them.
