Vitamin D doesn’t directly relieve pain… But it’s crucial to your body's foundation for healing. 💚
🌞Often called the "sunshine vitamin," research suggests vitamin D:
→ Improves bone strength and density, protecting against osteoporosis
→ May reduce muscle cramps through improved calcium absorption
→ Fights inflammation and supports immune function
→ Low levels are linked with pain conditions like low back pain, fibromyalgia, and headaches
*Low vitamin D may also contribute to increased pain sensitivity, muscle weakness, bone pain, and slower tissue healing.
A few considerations before increasing your vitamin D...
→ 𝗗𝗼𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴: 600 IU daily; 800 IU for those over 70
→ 𝗕𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗲𝘀: Fatty fish (salmon, mackerel), egg yolks, fortified milk and cereals
→ 𝗦𝗮𝗳𝗲𝘁𝘆 𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗰𝗸: Please discuss with your doctor before shifting your current supplement plan
