Studies show that people with lower levels of Vitamin D3 have a higher risk of cardiovascular disease.

Frequent colds, muscle and joint aches, feeling fatigued, depression, slow healing of wounds and other symptoms can all be signs of a deficiency in Vitamin D3.

How do you know if you’re deficient in Vitamin D?

Infections

Studies showVitamin D deficiencycan weaken your immune system and lead toincreased susceptibility to infectionand increased autoimmunity, where your body’s natural defences mistakenly attack normal, healthy cells.

Weaker bones

A severe Vitamin D deficiency can alsoweaken bones. In children this can result in Rickets, a condition that affects bone development and can lead to bone deformities. Adults can experience a similar condition, known as Osteomalacia or ‘soft bones’.

Bone and joint pain

Vitamin D is vital for helpingmaintain bone strengthby supporting the absorption ofCalcium. Bone and joint pain may indicate inadequate levels of Vitamin D in your blood.

Muscle pain

Low levels of Vitamin D can cause impairedmuscle functionand studies indicate that a Vitamin D deficiency may be a cause ofmuscle pain. There’s also thought to be anassociation between Vitamin D deficiency and RLS (Restless Legs Syndrome).

Feeling fatigued

There is evidence showing a connection between low Vitamin D levels and self-reported fatigue, and that alack of Vitamin Dcan have a negative impact on yourenergylevels.

Depression

A low mood may indicate a deficiency of Vitamin D. Evidence shows that people with depression tend to have lower blood levels of Vitamin D than those without depression.

Slow healing of wounds

A deficiency in Vitamin D may lead to wounds taking longer than normal to heal, for example after injury, infection or surgery.

Who’s at-risk of Vitamin D deficiency?

Everyone during Autumn and Winter

When there is lesssunlight, people who spend a lot of time indoors, who wear sunscreen when outdoors,and those who wear clothes that cover up most of their skin, are at risk of a deficiency in Vitamin D. In short, anyone with lower exposure to the sunis unlikely to get adequateVitamin Dfrom sunlight.

People with dark skin

Darker skin reduces the bodys ability to make Vitamin D from sunlight, so people with dark skin need more sunlight than people with lighter skin to produce the same amount of Vitamin D.

Older adults

As we age, our skin is less efficient at makingVitamin Dfrom sunlight, so adults aged over 60 years are more at risk of Vitamin D deficiency.

Being overweight or obese

Vitamin D is fat-soluble and can be absorbed into the fatty tissue beneath the skin, making it less available to the rest of the body.

HOW TO TAKE?

Take one or two capsules each day, together or separately in the evening or during the day.

Magnesium is most commonly taken in the evenings to support better sleep, or after exercise or long days on your feet.

Take one capsule per day.
