Vit d daily can make so much difference to how you feel

[worldwidetravel2017]

In March this yr my vit d was just 33
By summer it was 77
Now 89... at last check

Taking 2000 iu vit d daily

And drinking little actimel drink every am - with third of daily vit d in -
Has really helped me

Vit d is extra important oct to march
4 brits

Theres also a vitd and miscarriage link

Low vit d can really effect your body / how u feel

Do get checked

Also - boots- shop sell vit d tests on shelf now
( obv nhs / gp will test too)

I had complete blood tests recently, and only the low vit d is an issue. (thankfully). I have to have more in 4 weeks to assess. I am otherwise in good health, exercise and eat healthily which is why am a bit miffed. 😒

When you say complete bloods - dya mean full blood count?
.fbc doesnt include feretin, b12 etc

For those of you who know your exact numbers - is that from a test at GPs? I'm looking at the test mentioned on the Boots website and it seems to just say sufficient and insufficient and deficient.
Is there an at home test that is more accurate and can give precise numbers?

Gp got me exact number
They should def do it for you.
Best to get your feretin and b12 checked @ same time if you dont feel ace

I was deficient in all 3 @ same time earlier this yr

I should probably start taking vitamin D.

And also my kids.

Can anybody recommend a good adult one and kid one?

I've been starting to think about trying to get a good multivitamin to take daily for myself and husband. Am completely overwhelmed by choice and not really knowing what I need to know!
Does anyone have a recommendation of a good general all-rounder?

I can’t tolerate it. It stops me sleeping. No one says what to do with weirdos like ma

I was told by a GP recently that we should be taking supplements every day in the UK, not just the winter

I like the Better you spray version. There is one with ks2 in as well. Available on Amazon and in some supermarkets.

My level was 23 (got it checked due to joint aches and family history of osteoporosis.) I must admit that taking it has not made any noticeable difference to how I feel.

Yes, these are well priced too and do a decent range of vitamins

Vitamin d here, £5 for a years supply of 3000IU

Yep
Vit d all year

Might take 3 - 4 months to make a difference

How long has it been?
Have u also had b12 ans feretin checked?

Although l have sun holidays six times a year I've been taking VitD for about 15 years.. l also take magnesium and SI vitamin b12 every week.

My GP told me that everyone should take a Vit D supplement especially in the winter. I've started taking one and feel so much better.

Way longer than 4 months and other bloods normal. I felt fine before I took it and I still feel fine. Just continue to have some achy joints!

Thank you💐

I use the better you vitamin D spray. I do feel better for it!

I get a big pack of vit d iu 1000 tablets from boots
90 or so in

@randomuser2019 I'm not saying they're the best but they've got my levels up after the prescription dose I had. I have to go for vitamins within my budget and they're a decent cheaper option for someone that might not be able to afford it otherwise
