Getting dietary consultation for a vitamin D deficiency

A dark complexion, obesity, lack of fish and dairy in diet, age, tendency to stay indoors are all factors that put you at a higher risk of being Vitamin D deficient. It causes brittle or misshapen bones.

According to estimations, globally there are 1 billion individuals who are Vitamin D deficient.[1]

- Loss of hair
- Muscle pain
- Slow healing of wounds
- Back pain
- Depression
- Fatigue and lethargy
