It’s that time of year again, the days are getting shorter, it’s getting colder and we are wearing more layers and because of this we are having less sun exposure. Our main source of vitamin D is the sun, so as winter starts approaching it is an important time to start supplementing with vitamin D.
Vitamin D deficiency can cause many different symptoms throughout the body from weakened bones, poor immune function, mood disorders such as anxiety and depression, fatigue, hormone imbalances, poor cognitive function and even making us more susceptible to certain cancers. Studies have shown a link between vitamin D deficiency and respiratory track infections such as bronchitis and pneumonia.
There are many different types of Vitamin D supplements available which will prevent you becoming deficient in the winter months. I personally prefer FSC’s vitamin D3 drops as all you need is a few drops on your tongue and you’re covered.
