☁️ Winter Is Coming – And So Is Vitamin D Deficiency ☁️
As daylight hours drop and we spend more time indoors, vitamin D levels naturally decline — especially here in the UK.
Low vitamin D can contribute to:
⚡ Muscle weakness and fatigue
🦴 Poor bone and joint health
💤 Reduced energy and slower recovery
🩹 Increased risk of injury
For most adults, the NHS recommends supplementing with 10 micrograms (400 IU) daily through the autumn and winter months (October–March).
You can support your body by:
🌤 Taking a quality vitamin D3 supplement
🍳 Including oily fish, eggs, and fortified foods in your diet
🏃♀️ Keeping active and getting outdoors whenever possible
As physios, we often see how low vitamin D impacts muscle function and recovery — small changes now can make a big difference over winter.
💬 If you’re unsure what’s right for you, chat with a healthcare professional before starting supplements.
