The doctor called for obvious symptoms of lack of vitamin D

General practitioner Suzanne Wylie told HuffPost that persistent fatigue and muscle weakness may indicate a lack of vitamin D. According to the expert, the deficiency of this nutrient does not always manifest itself immediately and can occur for a long time without obvious symptoms.

Wylie gave other signs. Among them are tingling in the hands and feet, muscle twitches and increased sensitivity. Some people find it difficult to climb stairs or get out of a chair.

The doctor stressed that the listed symptoms are non-specific. They can be associated with lack of sleep, stress and other disorders. Therefore, if a deficiency is suspected, she recommended contacting a specialist.

Your doctor will order a blood test to check your vitamin D levels. Only after the examination, you can draw conclusions about the lack of nutrient and select a correction.

Scientists from the University of Copenhagen and the Van Andel Institute in the framework of the EVITA study found that a daily intake of 1000 mg of vitamin C is associated with a 65% reduction in the relative risk of death in patients with preleukemia and low-risk myeloid diseases.
