Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin, responsible for the intestinal absorption of calcium and phosphate. Vitamin D is needed to keep bones, teeth, and muscles healthy.
This essential nutrient is required for many of the main processes of the body and assists the body in its ability to absorb other minerals. Vitamin D is an important component in maintaining your general health and well-being.
What Causes Vitamin D Deficiency
Vitamin D deficiency is particularly common in people in the UK and Western Europe where there is not enough sunshine throughout the year.
Inadequate food intake or poor intestinal absorption may also contribute to Vitamin D deficiency.
The NHS recommends taking vitamin D as the general population may have been indoors more than usual over the last few months.
Certain groups are more at risk of a Vitamin D deficiency, but it seems that our current lifestyles have left us all more susceptible and in need of an added boost.
What Is a Vitamin D Injection?
Vitamin D injections are designed to deliver a large dose of vitamin D delivered directly to the bloodstream via intramuscular injection. Vitamin D is made by the body when exposed to sunlight and can be found in some food products.
Those looking to increase their vitamin D levels quickly will find that a vitamin D injection is the fastest way to do so. Vitamin D injections last between 3-6 months. You can continue to get the shots until your vitamin D levels are adequate. This can be determined by a blood test.
