Yes, but many people do not have enough Vitamin D. The big "D" is produced when the cholesterol in your skin is exposed to sunlight, and turns into vitamin d. NOT having enough Vitamin D can cause serious problems such as depression (making anxiety an issue), fatigue, bone softening diseases like rickets and osteoporosis, high blood pressure, and even schizophenia. 600 IUS is the recommended dosage for adults. I would also ask a doctor what they recommend, because depending on where you live the more or less IUS you will need. Also you can get Vitamin D through food intake such as cheese, butter and egg yolk.

Why do elderly people need more vitamin d?
Vitamin D is needed for calcium to be made useful in the body (for instance in bones). As you get older you tend to lose calcium from the bones and it becomes necessary to try and prevent this by ensuring that there is enough calcium in the diet and that this calcium is usable by the body. Vitamin D is made in the body by the action of UV sunlight on the fat layers just under the skin. If there is not enough exposure to sunlight the body becomes short of vitamin D and bode deformities can occur in growing children (rickets). Therefore in the young and the old it is important that both Calcium and vitamin D are present in the diet.
