"Nicknamed the sunshine vitamin" (because your body produces it after sun exposure) Vitamin D helps the body regulate its levels of calcium and absorb calcium from food, which is essential for healthy bones, teeth and muscles. It is also powerful because it interacts with every one of our body’s cells. It is now widely recognised that sufficient levels have a much broader range of benefits for the body, from increased energy levels to facilitating immune system function. Deficiencies in Vitamin D have been found to contribute to other illnesses.
Vitamin D is an essential hormone that our bodies need for immune system function and bone health. However, with more people spending time indoors or during the colder months, many people don’t get enough vitamin D naturally. And while you can still supplement vitamin D through certain foods, it may be difficult for some to get the required daily dose through diet alone.
Unfortunately, Vitamin D deficiency is very common. It is believed that as many as 60% of the UK population have lower than the recommended levels. It is particularly common among older demographics, where skin becomes less effective at producing Vitamin D, or among people with darker complexions. It is important for energy as well as regulating the absorption of calcium & phosphorus which is vital for our bones and teeth.
The UK Government recommends regular supplementation especially through the winter.

Vitamin D is a powerhouse hormone that your body relies on for several functions, from supporting a strong immune system to bone health. It’s classified as a fat-soluble vitamin and not naturally found in many foods people tend to eat, which makes it harder to intake naturally. Most of the time, vitamin D is enhanced or added to certain food items.
Vitamin D is primarily responsible for helping the body absorb specific minerals, including iron, calcium, and zinc. It also aids in balancing sodium and phosphorus in the body.

Although Vitamin D supplements can be taken orally, a lot of the product is lost through the body’s digestive process. With injections, the Vitamin D is delivered directly into the bloodstream for optimal results. This treatment is especially beneficial for those of us who struggle to get or produce enough Vitamin D. This includes people who don’t get enough sun, older people whose bodies are unable to produce as much Vitamin D, and people with darker complexions, whose skin is more resistant to the sun’s UV rays. We should also remember that too much sun exposure can damage the skin and cause premature ageing, as well as increase the risk of skin cancer.
