There's a good chance you're vitamin D deficient, especially if you're like most people and spend most of your time indoors. The other reason you may be deficient is because you have ‘ leaky gut’ An insult to the gut as food allergies, chronic infections, candida, or metals can cause intestinal malabsorption If your doctor didn’t check your vitamin D levels —here are some signs that might indicate you are deficient
Getting sick all the time is a sign of deficiency. Your immune system is low
When you are fatigued all the time
Your muscles always feel sore
You are losing hair
You bone density ( Dexa scan ) is low
You feel melancholy, ‘ blue’ or depressed
After checking levels I am a proponent of starting a vitamin D regimen I typically use 5,000 per day. I know it seems a lot but studies warrant the use especially when low vitamin D levels are linked to risk of heart disease. I usually prescribe Vitamin D with Vitamin K in liquid or emulsion form
