VITAMIN D
We don't make enough Vitamin D for our needs and perhaps 20% of the UK population is deficient in Vitamin D.
Vitamin D helps to regulate the amount of calcium and phosphate in your body. These essential nutrients are needed in order to keep your bones, teeth and muscles healthy.
A lack of Vitamin D can lead to bone deformities.
Consultation is required prior to administering an injection to check eligibility.
N.B. Vitamin D injections are limited to four per year.
What are the benefits of Vitamin D?
Vitamin D ingested orally can take weeks, even months, to have an impact on your health – and much of the dose is lost when it is converted in the gut.
However vitamin D shots have a much more immediate impact – some patients report feeling the effects right away. And a much higher percentage of the vitamin can be utilised by the body.
