Feeling a little blue lately, fatigue, getting sick often? Are your bones or muscles a tad bit achy? Wounds just won't heal, hair looking brittle or falling out?
If you answered yes to any of the following you may be experiencing the signs of Vitamin D deficiency.

Take a listen to the video below as Dr. Oz explains the health benefits of Vitamin D and what you can do to increase your level.
