How to get enough Vitamin D in the Winter

What is Vitamin D?

Vitamin D is one of many vitamins your body needs to stay healthy. It plays a crucial role in maintaining the balance of calcium in your blood and bones and in building and maintaining bones.

More specifically, you need vitamin D so that your body can use calcium and phosphorus to build bones and support healthy tissues.

Ultimately a Vitamin D deficiency can lead to Osteomalacia and osteoporosis.

Anyone can have vitamin D deficiency, including infants, children and adults. Vitamin D deficiency is a common global issue and affects about 1 billion people worldwide, while 50% of the population has vitamin D insufficiency!

How to get sufficient Vitamin D levels:

• Sun exposure on your skin - which obviously in the Winter is hard
• Through the food you eat.
• Through nutritional supplements.
• Through Vitamin D injections - which we provide at our Medway clinics
