I just started taking a 5,000/day D3 supplement for the same reason. I have the most oily face and it drives me NUTS! When I was younger, everyone told me once you get to your mid-twenties it goes away -- so imagine my depression at being 31 and still having an oil-slick on my face 10 min after washing (not to mention the 5+ times a day I use toner or wipes to re-cleanse my skin). People say, "Well that's good because you won't get wrinkles!" Yet somehow I would rather enjoy at least some portion of my young adult life oil-free at the price of a few wrinkles later. Anyway... I started just 2 days ago. I've heard people have seen amazing improvement within 2-3 weeks (of course there are also reviews from people that say it did nothing or even made it worse), but I can tell you one thing... just 2 days in I've noticed a HUGE improvement in my mood, sleep cycle, and less muscle fatigue/more energy. I'm suspecting that I was severely deficient in vitamin D as I have a LOT of the symptoms. Makes sense as well considering I'm fair skinned, but rarely ever in the sun. I used to tan in beds regularly and whether or not it's attributed to that, I know I felt FAR more energy and vitality when I did. Perhaps that's not related to reducing my vitamin D intake, but something to consider. Long story short, I too am wondering how long it's going to take before I know for sure if the results are from the supplement (or at least to know whether or not I should have seen results within a certain timeframe).
