During this winter, we've been actively conducting routine checks on vitamin D levels, recognising the challenges posed by limited sun exposure in the midst of a prolonged English winter.
The synthesis of vitamin D through sunlight exposure becomes more challenging during this season. Most vitamins, vital for various bodily functions, cannot be easily synthesised, and we've observed surprising drops in levels during the winter months.
While it's not entirely clear if this deficiency directly causes symptoms, it's crucial for bone growth and strength. Found in foods, especially dairy products, vitamin D deficiencies can be addressed through supplements.
At SameDayDoctor private GP walk-in clinics, open up to 7 days per week, we offer comprehensive services, including vitamin D tests and personalised advice on supplements when appropriate. Addressing concerns related to vitamin D deficiency symptoms is integral to maintaining your overall health and well-being.
