Signs of Vitamin D Deficiency

Have you been experiencing unexplained physical, mental, or emotional fatigue?

These could be signs of a vitamin D deficiency! With many people spending less time in the sun, low vitamin D levels have become increasingly common.

How to Spot and Address Common Symptoms

Here are some key symptoms to watch for if you suspect you may need more vitamin D:

  • Frequent colds or infections
  • Slow-healing cuts or wounds
  • Constant fatigue and low energy
  • Back, muscle, or bone pain
  • Mood swings or depression

Other indicators may include unexplained hair loss and excessive sweating. If any of these symptoms sound familiar, it’s worth consulting with a holistic health provider to identify the root cause.

Our office is here to help uncover the underlying causes of deficiencies, recommend natural supplementation, and close nutritional gaps. Reach out to learn more!

Why is Vitamin D so Important?

Vitamin D is an essential nutrient that supports a number of critical physiological functions in the body.

  • Supporting thyroid health
  • Improving immunity
  • Building strong bones

These are just a few of the key processes vitamin D help support.

It’s arguably one of the most important vitamins for whole-body health, though most people don’t get enough of it. In fact, 29% of U.S. adults are deficient in vitamin D, and an additional 41% are insufficient, even though we can get the vital nutrient through multiple sources (namely: sunlight, food, and supplements).

A deficiency in vitamin D can result in a long list of less-than-ideal physical and mental symptoms, including:

  • Poor bone health
  • Brain fog
  • Weakened immune system
  • Mood swings

In addition to plenty of daytime sunshine, you can get vitamin D from foods like yogurt, eggs, and salmon; you may also need high quality supplementation depending on your diet, lifestyle, or genetic factors. If you rely on food sources for Vitamin D, make sure you aren’t eating anything that triggers inflammation in your body.
