How can a Vitamin D Injection help?
Vitamin D deficiency can be responsible for higher risk of heart disease, diabetes, depression and osteoporosis. People suffering from a deficiency may experience the following symptoms: impaired cognition, fatigue, low energy, hair loss, muscles weakness, musculoskeletal pains and aches, and eczema.
Major sources of vitamin D are food. Even with a diet rich in essential vitamins and minerals, absorption of vitamin D can be minimal, resulting in a deficiency. The other source is sunlight; the human skin is capable of producing vitamin D when exposed to sunlight. But the overexposure to sunlight can be quite harmful to the skin due to the UV rays.
A few of the reasons why one may suffer from a vitamin D deficiency include:
- Regularly wearing sunscreen with high SPF or covering up too thoroughly whenever outdoors
- Spending too much time indoors
- Having a darker skin tone or skin that tans easily
- Being older. As people age, they produce less vitamin D
The Vitamin D Injection includes a consultation with our IV clinician to better understand your symptoms and help provide the best treatment possible.
