When we have a vitamin D deficiency, the following symptoms may occur:
- Excessive Head Sweating
- Increased Night Sweating
- Mood Swings: Vitamin D helps regulate mood.
- Procrastination
- Panic Attacks
- Body Achiness: Pain in areas such as the pelvis, lower back, hips, and upper legs.
- Loss of Muscle Strength: A lack of vitamin D results in insufficient calcium in the muscles, which is crucial for muscle contraction and development.
- Muscle Stiffness: A feeling of pain or tightness in the muscles. Weakness in muscles and collagen (stiffness) often affects the knee joints and fingers.
- Chronic Fatigue: Vitamin D supports mitochondrial function, boosting cellular energy.
- Slower Cognitive Processing: Deficiency impairs the brain’s ability to process information and make decisions quickly.
- Difficulty Feeling Satisfaction
How Much Vitamin D Do We Need Per Day?
Vitamin D3 dosage: 10,000–20,000 IU/day. Should be taken with cofactors, including:
- Magnesium
- Vitamin K2
- Zinc
- Vitamin B6
The recommended vitamin D3 level in the body is 30–100 ng/mL, which can be determined via a blood test.
