Okay, you’ve read the signs and some of them sound a little too familiar. What now?
First, don’t panic. Vitamin D deficiency is super treatable. A simple blood test can measure your 25-hydroxyvitamin D level. Depending on how low you are, your doctor might recommend:
Daily supplements (D3 is usually better absorbed than D2)
15–30 minutes of sunlight on bare skin (arms and face) a few times a week
D-rich foods like egg yolks, mushrooms, salmon, fortified dairy or plant milks
Pairing Vitamin D with healthy fats to boost absorption (think avocado, nuts, olive oil)
And if you’re really low, a high-dose D supplement (taken weekly or monthly) might be prescribed.
