Signs of Vitamin D Deficiency & why you might have it

Signs of Vitamin D Deficiency & why you might have it

Vitamin D is an essential nutrient needed for immunity, bone health, mental health and a healthy inflammatory response.

Vitamin D deficiency has been associated with porous bones (weak bones), poor immunity, asthma, diabetes, IBD, ADHD, depression, dementia, and more.

What factors contribute to vitamin D deficiency?

  • Not enough exposure to sunlight
  • A family history of vitamin D  deficiency
  • Darker skin pigment
  • Malnutrition
  • Kidney or liver problems, which affect the body's ability to process vitamin D

Signs of vitamin D  deficiency:

  • Muscle or bone pain
  • Increased fatigue & brain fog
  • A tingly, 'pins and needles' feeling in the hands or feet
  • Muscle spasms
  • Low mood and energy

How to help vitamin D levels:

We get most of our vitamin D3 from the sun, so get those rays on you (and remember your SPF). You can get vitamin D3 from some fish such as salmon, and vitamin D2 from mushrooms.

But if you need a helping hand, try Happy Hours. Happy Hours contains 1000IU of vitamin D.
