Vitamin D is something that we usually get naturally in our day to day lives – from sunshine and many of the foods we eat. But sometimes we don’t get enough, and this is where vitamin D supplements and treatments come in.
Talk to us to get expert recommendations, and order vitamin D online to get your dose of sunshine all year round.
Vitamin D helps to keep the calcium and phosphate in your body in check. Calcium and phosphate play an important role in keeping your bones, muscles and teeth healthy.
A lack of vitamin D can lead to low bone density, where brittle bones and deformities may occur. So you’re less likely to experience these complications if you get the right amount.
Often referred to as the sunshine vitamin, you’ll get most of it from the sun, although that isn’t always easy because we aren’t able to get that much exposure to the sun. That’s why it’s recommended that you take supplements in order to keep your levels healthy. Buying vitamin D online is the simplest way of preventing and treating deficiencies.
Everyone. Vitamin D not only affects your bones, teeth and muscles, but your mood and your immune system too. Vitamin D deficiencies have been linked to depression, muscle cramps and, in the most severe cases, osteoporosis, which is where your bones are so brittle they break easily or become deformed.
It’s estimated that over a billion people worldwide suffer from some form of vitamin D deficiency. It can be easily avoided though. Supplements and treatments are usually very affordable, even if you need a high strength treatment.

There are a range of factors that can cause vitamin D deficiency, but it’s usually due to a lack of sunlight. As your body gets most of its vitamin D from the sun (or at least it should) this can be due to the lifestyle we lead today wherein we spend most of our time indoors. This isn't to say that the sun is the only source of vitamin D; you also get a small amount from food, as well as fortified food (where vitamin D has been added) such as cereals and margarines.
It's not only serious vitamin D deficiencies that can cause health problems. Less severe vitamin D symptoms include depression, general aches and pains and low energy. If you notice these symptoms or if you spend much of your time indoors, there’s a good chance that you’re suffering from a lack of Vitamin D. Taking a daily supplement is one of the most efficient ways of avoiding or treating these symptoms.
The vitamin D supplement dose is much lower than those given for treatments, but you should still not exceed the recommended daily dose. Daily maintenance doses are the best way to keep your vitamin D levels healthy and stop more serious issues from happening.
A severe lack of vitamin D can lead to a bone condition called osteoporosis. This is where a lack of calcium leads to brittle bones that are easily broken, or even serious deformities.
Severe vitamin D deficiency symptoms can be caught early if you notice muscle cramps, joint pain, delayed wound healing and general fatigue. These can be early warning signs that a severe vitamin D deficiency is developing.
High levels of vitamin D over a number of weeks can treat this condition, although they’ll not completely reverse its effects. All treatments for severe vitamin D deficiencies will need a prescription, as well as careful monitoring by our doctor. Vitamin D deficiency treatment doses usually depend on the severity of your condition.
