WHY VITAMIN D?

Vitamin D plays a significant role in the regulation of calcium and phosphorus levels in the bloodstream. These factors are vital for maintaining healthy bones. In addition, Vitamin D helps manage blood sugar levels, helps with concentration, learning and memory, facilitates hormone regulation, enhances the immune system, improves heart health and can help protect against cancer.

DEFICIENCY SIGNS: 

Despite the body being able to manufacture Vitamin D, a large percentage of the population, both children and adults are Vitamin D deficient.

Signs include: fatigue, weaker bones, back pain, muscle soreness, hair loss, frequent sickness and depression.

VITAMIN D + COVID PREVENTION:

"Patients with untreated vitamin D deficiencies were 77% more likely to test positive for COVID-19 as patients with sufficient levels of the vitamin."
