Vitamin D deficiency in winter: symptoms, causes and solutions

Vitamin D is one of the most underrated vitamins. It's largely produced by sunlight on the skin, but in autumn and winter, it's often deficient.

Symptoms of a vitamin D deficiency

• Fatigue or listlessness
• Muscle weakness or painful bones
• Reduced resistance
• Sadness or winter blues

Risk groups

Women, the elderly, people with dark skin or those who do not spend much time outdoors are at extra risk.

Solution according to orthomolecular theory

• Daylight: Try to get outside every day.
• Diet: Oily fish and eggs contain some vitamin D, but often not enough.
• Supplementation:
  • Vitamin D3 : the most effective form, directly usable by the body.
  • Multi Support : provides vitamin D in combination with other essential nutrients.

By consciously paying attention to your vitamin D intake, you prevent fatigue and strengthen your immune system during the winter months.
