emember that glorious feeling you get when you see that it’s a sunny day? That’s the boost you get from Vitamin D!
Vitamin D has had a lot of mention over the past few years and for good reason. It not just makes us feel good but it affects our mood and bone health! Vitamin D deficiency can lead to bone deformities such as rickets in children, and bone pain caused by a condition called osteomalacia in adults.
The NHS were testing for deficiencies but they’ve stopped now. Why? Because the tests were expensive and they found that everyone was deficient, especially older people who leave the house less and ethnic minorities (their bodies are built for more sunshine than we’re getting here). Standard advice from GPs now is that everyone should be taking 10mcg/day or 4000iu
(50mcg/day or 2000iu for children aged 1-10 and 25mcg/daily or 1000iu for babies).
The sad truth is that some of us could be very deficient and not know it so we’d be suffering from these symptoms and having to wait for our levels to get to normal over time. I’m not a patient person so if I don’t see a near-immediate benefit, I won’t continue spending money on something.
Our service will test your deficiency level and, if required, provide you with a boost of Vitamin D to help you feel more like yourself.
Vitamin testing and injections can take place at your home and costs are from £10. Make sure you’re looking after yourself and your elderly family members and book an appointment with us today.
