5 Warning Signs You Might Have Vitamin D Deficiency
Over 1 billion people worldwide may be deficient in vitamin D. Here are 5 key signs to watch for.
Fatigue and Poor Sleep
Chronic tiredness or poor sleep quality could be your body’s way of signaling low vitamin D levels.
Bone and Muscle Pain
Vitamin D helps absorb calcium. Without enough, bones may become fragile, causing pain or weakness.
Hair Loss
A deficiency may disrupt the hair growth cycle and has been linked to conditions like alopecia.
Frequent Illness
Vitamin D supports immunity. Frequent colds or infections could be a red flag for deficiency.
Mood Changes
Low levels of vitamin D are associated with depression, seasonal affective disorder, and anxiety.
Get 20 minutes of sunlight daily. Include foods like fatty fish, fortified dairy, and egg yolks, or take D3 supplements with K2 after consulting your doctor.
