DWM VIT D

It is estimated that up to 70 percent of people could have a vitamin D deficiency.

Depression and pain can both be signs of vitamin D deficiency, research suggests.

As well as low mood, the most important symptoms of depression are:

1. Decreased interest in life.
2. Energy loss.
3. Concentration problems.

People in the study reported pains such as:

• Neuropathic pain, including shooting or burning sensations in their legs and feet (61 percent).
• Sensory pain such as numbness and tingling in their hands, fingers and legs (74 percent).

Both depression and pain were reduced after participants were given vitamin D2 supplementation.
