Vitamin D Deficiency and How to avoid it

Vitamin D, also known as the sunshine vitamin, is essential for health. Many people
don’t get adequate sunlight on the skin each day and may not get adequate dietary
vitamin D because they are vegan or allergic to milk. Vitamin D3 is produced
naturally in the dermis when skin is exposed to sunlight. Good dietary sources of
vitamin D are fatty fish such as salmon or egg yolk. Another great way to get vitamin
D3 is by taking daily vitamin D3 supplements like Health2Go Vitamin D3.
Health experts recommend that adults get 4000 MG of Vitamin D daily to maintain
good health. Medical research shows that vitamin D deficiency is one of the most important

risk factors for COVID-19 that can be easily fixed to avoid the risk of hospitalization, complications and death.

What causes vitamin D deficiency?
1. Unfortunately, many people do not get adequate sunlight exposure on the skin each
day especially in cool northern areas where people work indoors and wear long
sleeved clothing when outdoors so exposure to sun light is minimal. As mentioned
above, Vitamin D3 is naturally produced in the skin when skin is exposed to sunlight.
So if you live in the northern latitudes or have an occupation that requires you stay out
of sun, or simply prefer staying indoors, and don’t get at least 15-30 minutes of
sunlight on the skin each day you are at risk of being deficient in vitamin D3.
Window glass filters out the UVB radiation from sunlight which is what the body uses
to synthesize vitamin D. So exposure to sunshine indoors through a window does not
produce vitamin D.

2. The best dietary sources of vitamin D are animal sourced foods like egg yolk, fatty
fish like salmon, trout or sardines, vitamin D fortified milk and beef liver. The best
vegetable sources of vitamin D are mushrooms. Often vegetarians or vegans don’t eat
enough animal source foods mentioned above so they may become deficient in
vitamin D and should buy a top quality vitamin D3 supplement like Health2Go
Vitamin D3 or Health2Go Vitamin ADK capsules and take an oral vitamin D
supplement daily.

3. People with dark skin naturally have more melanin in the skin. Melanin reduces the
skin’s ability to synthesize vitamin D when exposed to sunlight. Therefore, vitamin D
deficiency is much more prevalent for people with darker skin pigmentation. Older
people are also much more prone to have low vitamin D levels.

Signs of vitamin D deficiency
1.Get sick often-Vitamin D plays a crucial role in strengthening the immune system.
A strong immune system ensures the body is capable of fighting off disease causing
bacteria and viruses. People that frequently catch colds or the flu often have low
vitamin D levels.

2. Weak bones, back pain and knee pain – Vitamin D is a contributing factor in
maintenance of bone health. Vitamin D3 especially enhances the ability of the body to

use calcium to build bone. Bone or joint pain or chronic back or knee pain may be
signs of inadequate levels of vitamin D.

3. Feel tired or fatigued – Another sign of vitamin D deficiency is low energy level
and fatigue. Chronic daytime fatigue has been associated with low blood levels of
vitamin D. This negatively affects your quality of life. Maintaining healthy vitamin D
levels helps ensure better energy level and mood. Yet another reason to buy a top
quality vitamin D3 supplement like Health2Go Vitamin D3 or Health2Go Vitamin
ADK capsules and take an oral vitamin D supplement daily to improve energy mood
and maintain a strong immune system.

Bottom line
Most people who are vitamin D deficient are not even aware of the problem because
the symptoms are subtle. It is recommended that people get their blood level of
vitamin D tested. Try to eat a diet that has some good sources of vitamin D like eggs,
fish and mushrooms; and get out in the sun light for a little while every day.
