Vitamin D Deficiency | I Thought I was Depressed 

Optimal Vitamin D Absorption: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-p1D2sUe_5WI.html

I honestly believe the reason so many teenagers and young adults are suffering from anxiety and low mood is because of lack of vitamin D. So pleased you finally got your answer.

I found out about my severe vitamin D deficiency in March and in two months my levels went upto 33 ng from 7. I am aiming for 55ng.I started with 4K IU of d3 then went on to 10k IU along with magnesium, Vit K2, fish oil. It was life changing! I also had to correct my severe B12 and iron deficiency with shots and infusions respectively.I took a zinc + b complex capsule too. I also made some dietary changes by limiting dairy, gluten and sugar. I am a different person now. I used to have extreme hair fall, fatigue, drowsiness, dizziness, poor balance, bone pain, weak teeth, numbness in my toes, lack of concentration , poor memory, depression, anxiety and brain fog. My career, social life, relationships everything was suffering for so many years. I feel like over 75% of my problems are gone. It didn’t take too long, only a few months for this entire transformation. Please do not ignore nutritional deficiencies . I hope this helps people 🙏🏼

I really hate that testing vitamin levels is not routine practice... As a woman if you have ANY health concerns they will offer birth control or antidepressants. I had to beg for a freaking thyroid panel. I'm sick of modern medicine. Glad someone finally listened to you!

I was undiagnosed depressed for years when a doctor checked my Vitamin D in 2017. My level was at 7. I also tried unsuccessfully to get pregnant again for 5 years before that. Taking 4000 IU a day didn't get my level up. When I started taking 20,000 IU it finally got better. My drpression went away in about 2 months and when I finally had a level about 30 I got pregnant right away the next cycle!!! Vitamin D saved literally my life and gave me my second daughter. ❤

This video will change lives

I just found out that I have a vitamin D deficiency and I feel so bad for taking this semester off from college. I literally can’t retain any information and I can’t stop sleeping 😩.

This video was so helpful. I was freaking out thought I was going crazy. Got my levels checked and realized my vitamin D was low. Was nice to see the community within the comments Fr 🙏🏾

I suffered from this for over 6 or 7 years. I went to doctors after doctors and they all said the same thing “I was fine”, I knew I was not because I know my body. So, for years everything you explained about the symptoms you had is me. I was referred to a Dr., and I explained my symptoms over once again and she got blood work two weeks ago and got my results today and my vitamin d is extremely low at a 4. So, she said I need to take the vitamins and see her in 3 months. I’m really praying these pills help. I’ve moved to a third story apartment so I feel your pain on the stairs and the energy. Thanks for sharing. ❤

I'm literally almost in tears. I've been so depressed for so long and have been doing therapy, taking antidepressants. I struggled through my last semesters of graduate school because of this. I'm working now but still having a hard time. I finally went to the doctor just to get levels checked because my body really just started to feel like it was breaking down, on top of my depression being a wreck. Like you, my vitamin D level was at a 6....My doctor gave me a supplement to take once a week. Hopefully this is the answer!

A 4!?!?!? That's the lowest I've ever heard about... Mine is a 9 and for a while I genuinely thought I was dying. Lost half of my hair, have EXTREME fatigue, more anxiety than usual....and it was all because of this deficiency. It's no joke. Let's all recover together. I can't wait for spring to come. Edit: I'm still watching the video, I live in Spain but it seems like all doctors do the same all over the world. They tell you "that's so low! It should be around 20!" So you think "hmm yeah that's low but not THAT low. There's no way I'm feeling this bad because of this". But then you do some research and realise that it was, in fact, very very low, because 20 is still the BARE MINIMUM. I don't know why they do this but it makes me mad

I just found out a couple of weeks ago that my level was 5. Even with a bit of supplementation (including the weekly 50,000IU prescription) I'm starting to feel better. I suspect it's been bad for a while, but not having my own outdoor space during the lockdown really sent my numbers over the edge. Vitamin D should be something that's a standard test!

this video was so reassuring and all of these comments as well. I recently found out I was at a level 14 after I made an over the phone appointment with a random doctor because my doctor didn’t have any available appointments. The doctor was a woman and immediately after telling her my symptoms and how I was feeling she said she wanted to do blood work for anemia, diabetes, thyroid levels, and a few vitamins. She got back to me a week later and told me I have a vitamin D deficiency. I then went to my doctor and asked him if he could elaborate on this deficiency and if it’s connected to my symptoms. He said something “mechanical” might just be wrong in my body and he said was that most Americans are deficient in vitamin D and there usually aren’t symptoms. This left me feeling even more crazy and confused. Since then I’ve been on the 50k vitamins once a week thanks to the first doctor and doing my own research to learn more. Videos like these really give me all the reassurance I need because my doctor couldn’t.

This video is so necessary and I wish more people knew about this. When the doctor prescribed me Vitamin D it was like night and day. The world seemed brighter, I was instantly happier and energetic within minutes.

I thought I was crazy! I’m only 31 & can’t focus, I sleep so much, felt like was depressed, back pain like crazy, everything in my back was hurting! I’ve always had low vitamin d but I’ve never get this bad. Thanks! I’ll be calling my doctor on Monday.

Omg this story is almost exactly like mine! I used to get really lightheaded in the shower when I was much smaller... I had a level of 14 Ng and I have to take a prescription for Vitamin D. I too don't drink milk or really consume many things with Vitamin D. I call it superwoman in a pill. Because I realized my full potential and how productive I could really be once I got the prescription. Before I gained so much weight because I didn't have the energy to workout or cook at home, my normal day of work would just finish me, so cleaning my home and doing daily chores, even cooking dinner was hard. I spiraled into depression and only wanted to sleep. But after two days of taking my prescription, I felt like superwoman, working tirelessly without getting tired! So amazing!

It helps to know that I wasn't alone experiencing all those symptoms..

Omg!!! This video was soooo helpful!! I really thought that I was losing it... hard to explain to people what is going on but I know my body and I know things have felt off for a while now. My levels were checked and right now I'm at a 9. Was prescribed vitamin D and just took the first one today! I pray that I feel better soon because I've been going through!!

omg...I have been dealing with a all these symptoms for 2 years....I am also a vegan. Found out my Vit D is 15--half what it should be. Just found out today which is why I am watching your video. You're totally describing myself. It's been so brutal and I totally understand you.

Thank you for sharing your experience! I just found out my number is 12! Extremely low as well. If you can, please share an update! Eager to see how you are doing! You explained this very very well! I’m thankful you caught this as young as you are! Praying for swift progress and recovery!!

Thanks for this video! I was feeling the same (no motivation, tired, procrastinating). After a blood check, I realized I had 6 (from the range of 20 - 50, where 45 is optimal for males), of Vit D. I will start with the MD supplementation today!

I had exactly the same experience ( doctors, depression etc). what u was going through. I am 59, so u know, age Blabla bla. Then I discovered vitamin “D”. Well, 3 month into taking supplements of vitamin D, I fell like my self again. Had to discover this by myself. !!!!! No Doctor was telling me this! They gave antidepressant and all sorts of other meds. LOL. Thanks for ur upload, was feeling, a bit like I was mad. :)

Oh you’re a vegan! I started out with low vitamin D and went vegan for 6 months and started having more symptoms added on top of my already existent symptoms. You mentioning being vegan really confirmed my suspicions of my diet change being a huge factor in worsening my deficiency 😟

I was at a 7 and I completely understand what you went thru.I take a Vitamin D everyday and it's so hard to live without it.Because it affects mood levels.

For the past 6 months have been feeling fatigue and brain fog issues. Got diagnosed with depression 2 weeks ago but i know that i am not depressed and i happened to chanced by on this video. Went to get all my vitamins and nutrients blood work and viola! Vitamin d was at a 9. Thanks for spreading awareness of this!

I told my mom my legs muscles felt heavy. She told me to take some vitamin d3 supplement and it stopped hurting. Told my doctor to check my vitamins and it was a 18.3. I have fatigue, shortness of breath, heart palpitations, muscle aches, some bone aches, tingling in my body, brain fog and feeling heavy.

OMG, girl, how were you even functioning at all with a 4 vitamin D level. Sending you a hug. I just learned that mine was a 21 and what you said about how you talk to your negative talk about yourself is for real, for real.

being in the sun at least 30 minutes a day will help

Just got my results back, 13. Making follow up Appt with doc to see my recommended course of action. I’ve been trying so hard to figure out what’s been keeping me so fatigued despite working out, eating well etc. I’m eager to get started feeling better soon! Thank you for sharing this. ❤

Oh my, I thought I was losing my minndddd , I cry for literally no reason, i feel hopeless for no reason

Diagnosed with severe Vitamin D deficiency today after months of tests for anemia, hypothyroidism, b12 deficiency, estrogen dominance, god knows what else they've tested me for...add to that a year of an antidepressant, today I have a possible diagnosis. I've felt the same, lacking motivation, now approaching pure constant exhaustion, brain fogginess, and more recently aching knees & hips. I've been describing how I feel as "wholebody tired". Not 1 day in over a year have I felt like a normal functioning human. I'm only 40 & have always been an incredibly active, athletic, self motivated person. Ive been Vegetarian for 6 years, never fully dropped dairy, so I'm not Vegan. Ive been struggling with feeling as I had become freaking lazy & this was just where I was gonna be as I turn 40. Although I live in sunny Phoenix, I have shunned the sun since my early 20s to starve off photoaging, sun spots, cancer etc. Now I guess I'm paying the price for taking care of my skin. Picking up my pharmaceutical grade Vit D tomorrow. I hope this is the answer & Remedy. Video was helpful.

I found out I had moderate vitamin D deficiency this week (measured at 23nmol/L). I have no idea when my vitamin deficiency started but I suspect it was at the end of last year when I decided to go on caloric deficit. I'm in Australia so we had lockdowns late last year which didn't help getting sunlight either. In terms of symptoms I felt the same way as you did with regards to motivation. I wasn't depressed but felt that everything I did required extra effort to do. I'm a type of person who likes to stay motivated and get "stuff" done whether it is work or exercise but the last 6 months has been a real struggle. I thought I was being lazy but in hindsight it was my mind not being able to concentrate effectively. My sleep was also severely impacted to the point I was only getting 4-5 hours of sleep. I started my vitamin D supplements this week and I feel somewhat better but still a long way to go!

OMG! I, too, am extremely VitaminD deficient and mine was a 6. I take a high dosage once a week. They told me that the minimum should be 30. They also found my iron extremely low, so since I was diagnosed with anemia, I take a high dosage of iron. I thought I was depressed too because I'm a go-getter. Didn't know that it was VitaminD vs Depression. It's amazing how the body will talk to us. Good luck to you!! We do can conquer this!!

I thought it was insane how my vitamin D level was 11, but 4 is absolutely insane.

Thanks for this info! Got my blood work results today and it showed low levels of Vitamin D. Had no idea it affects so much other than bones. I see why because some says more so a hormone not Vitamin

I was at a 6 and felt like I was dying. My doctor put me on 5000 for a year an I just got to 65... but still have the muscle aches, hoping my body starts to adjust.. but happy you figured out what’s going on so you can recover soon

I just found out this week that I’m vitamin D deficient. I seriously thought I was depressed. My business sky rocketed but I soon just give up due to lack of motivation. I would sleep every chance I had when I wasn’t at work. I am so glad I found the culprit

I just got prescribed 50,000 for pills ...I def been feeling depressed on top of sleeping all day ..I recently went to get a pedicure and him massaging my legs felt like severe pain. I feel a instant relief with pills . I’m glad I got a answer

Did anyone have a pain in the chest (on the left side) ?

Did anyone have muscle twitching

Could you do an update video on your experience, how you’re motivation has changed, and so forth? I’m so invested in your story now. LOL

I have the same symptoms and now I have already started with my vitamin D and Magnesium, omega 3 everyday. Thank you for sharing 😊.

I didn’t realize depression & lack of motivation could be vitamin D deficit! Damn I knew i was lacking in vitamin D but didn’t realize how serious this could be! I was told i was low on vitamin D a few years back. Because in recent years I have been both! I thought it was age and just plain laziness due to lack of motivation.

I’ve been a vegetarian my whole life and I’m 34 and I just started to become a vegan when I was 32 and I’ve been having the exact same problems of like the feeling of depression but I know I’m not depressed like you said it’s more of like laziness and unwillingness to do normal activities. This video that you did helped me out a lot ! thank you very much I’m gonna get my blood work done thank you I actually ordered some vitamin B 12 and vitamin D drops from Amazon that I’m gonna get tomorrow and I already take vitamins for vegans and I take a one a day for women I take iodine and I take zinc so being a vegan takes a lot of vitamin conception lol

I had mine checked about a year ago as well. Lucky I had a Black gynecologist who looked into it for me. My sleep has improved.

For the past 2 months , I had been suffering from weak legs that would get weaker/number as I walked more plus my left arm was numb along with chest pain , brain fog ,high BP , frequent panic attacks and sound sensitivity along with fatigue and chronic depression . Saw 2 neurologists and a cardiologist to confirm that I am fine but finally I was told to get a blood test for Vit D3 . The day I got my result , guess what , I could barely walk ( this was yesterday btw ) and it turns out that I had 5 ug/Ml . Just got my emergency 600,000 IU injection along with supplements . I hope I shall get better 💯

My vitamin D is 12.60. EXTREMELY low. I’m about to start 50,000 units once a week for 8 weeks. I thought I was dying. I’m 46. My hair is falling out, and my whole body tingles, fatigue, depressed, muscle aches joint pain omg. So glad I checked my vitamin D

I went to my doctor with extreme fatigue, mood swings/being down, hair loss, muscle soreness. I was advised by a consultant to get a blood test but my GP said none of these symptoms are related to low vit D even though my bloods came back as 10ng/ml and everything else was normal. She insisted that tiredness has absolutely no relation and yet everyone I find talking about it/ studies state it’s one of the most common symptoms. Currently feel like I’m making these symptoms up but a lot of mornings it’s hard to even get the energy to get out of bed.

Iv'e always had anxiety. and depression has come and gone due to some life events these past 5 years, and throughout it all and before these past 5 years, my body, bones, neck, back have always ached.. a doctor told me it was just my posture i needed to fix, lose some weight, but even when i was my most active and healthy my body always ached... the last years though and past 9 months or so.. my depression, aches. energy got worse... i was so tired after work.. i could still push through to get to work and take care of other priorities regarding people in my life.. but my own shit.. was hard to keep up with, like my health, social life, my art. mind you i'm an illustrator that has produced almost nothing these past months cause when i get time for myself.... i'm so exhausted.. let the sadness and laziness get to me... so much self shame was happening adding on to depression and anxious thoughts that i was constantly having panic attacks... i was also isolating myself... two weeks ago i started feeling pins n needles/numb feeling on my arms at night and during the day at times, my upper back and neck pain was at its worst that i had so many crying spells daily.. and the fatigue was strong along with so much irritability with others and myself... so the nurse at my job encouraged me to seek a doctor a new one, went in spilled everything out - made it a point to say i didnt want to be on antidepressants like i had been in the past.. this doctor checked everything and had me get blood drawn to look at everything and they found i am vitamin d deficient... which explains so much... so anyway.. so happy you're sharing this, i can resonate so much when you say that you thought to yourself, am i being lazy? but it gets to the point where its so out of our control! thank you

My Vitamin D is at 11 😩 and My B-12 is at 248 I have H-pylori infection which I guess caused these deficiencies , I also felt a lot of those symptoms . Mentally I wanted to get so much done but physically my body would not respond and react the way I wanted it too 😒.

Thank you so much Raven. I am also deficient and now I am building my way back to a better health for my body and mind. I hope your message reaches others as I believe not many people are seeking the help they need.

So glad you made this video. I’m currently deficient and trying to get my levels back up. There needs to be more awareness about vitamin D !

I just got told I have a vitamin d deficiency after going to the doctor with bone pain. I have felt tired for years and like you was beating myself up for being lazy. Hoping the supplements will make a big difference for me!

Yes, just found out I am vitamin D deficient. My level is 3. I believe this happened, due to COVID. I live in LA. But my pelvis kept popping out of place and I had muscle pain, which I discovered is a muscular issue and so I decided to do a whole body make over to fix the issues, resulting in physical therapy, blood work etc. I knew it was something serious. Now I know it is because of Vitamin D strengthens bones and muscles. ThNk God I am now taking care of this with Vitamin D. I thought I was tired, losing memory and getting older too, and I’m only 38. Vitamin D is a serious thing!

This video helped me in 2024. My doctor just told me I'm Vitamin D deficient, and that's causing my depression.

Omg this has helped me. My vitamin d was extremely low and I was depressed, tired and tingling in my hands

Hahaha, it's not a laughing matter, but the comments are explaining exactly how I feel!

*Pauses video and orders vitamin D* Thank you for this 🙏

Thank you for making this video. I'm glad you are okay and that you shared this. It really helped knowing all of this.

I just got diagnosis with low Vitamin D I just started 50,000IU today. I hope it helps because I had similar signs as you. Also, I love your sweater btw it's so cute.

I am going through the exact same things. My levels are at a 7. I’ve known for years but never took it serious until now. I’m really glad I found your vid. Thanks

Sometimes I ask myself do Drs know some of their patients vitamin d levels are low, but refused to tell the patients just so they can make more money off the patient insurance with repeating visits/ running several tests for higher claims. 🤔 Hmmmm

I am Glad I hear many people story. Being how common it is for American to be Vitamin D deficient. I spoke to my doctor this was probably my third time telling her I’m very tired fatigue all the time . Knowing it was not normal to sleep so much and love to be in the bed. My Dr took my blood work did a Metabolic Test as well as vitamin D test . I was called and told the same my vitamin D was extremely low. Dr quickly set a prescription for Vitamin D 50,000 IU twice a week. I too had depression , tired dizzy and now I’m glad this was discovered . I’m happy to be on my way up and finding the cause. Also I take Zoloft with my Vitamin d . Anti depressant and anxiety med. It’s been 2 days abs already feel less tired . I use to leave work early because I will fall asleep during my calls with customers. Take care hope everyone gets better ! Health is wealth and listen to your body . It can save your life in certain situations.

In pre med school, I learned that doctors are expected to be drug dealers and It breaks my heart. Nutrition and vitamins are KEY guys!!!! This is so refreshing!

Mine was at a 9 . I literally thought I was dying, my bones hurt , my knee and my body heated up . I was so afraid. Then I started taking vitiam D pill from my doctor . 50,000 once a week. Now I take a daily 5,000. I’m vegan but I’m eating salmon once a week until I get bloodwork again

Thank you so much for this video. I’ve been in so much pain lately and now I know why. I have to go see a doctor asap

I was having severe muscle pain & bone pain in my shoulders, I did my blood work & I found out that my vitamin d level is 9. My anxiety got so bad that I suffered from constant panic attacks. I really thought that I have some kind of chronic disease. It made me more anxious. I am taking 60,000 iu pills once a week , the pain has not improved.😢

My vitamin d is at 14.7. Prior to me finding out I was always fatigue. It wasn't until I starting working out, I begin having horrible panic attacks, muscle fatigue, anxiety, depression, tremors , cold spells, and sleeping pattern became off. My mind is constantly racing and I continue to have negative thoughts. My doctor started me on 5,000 units of D3 two weeks ago and I'm also using magnesium oil. Hopefully I will feel better soon

me too girl! my diagnosis changed my life

I got to the doctor a month ago to do some labs cause I was feeling a lot of symptoms they told everything was ok turns out I just checked the results and my vitamin D levels are deficient, and I didn’t knew that for a month... now it makes sense all of the pain and symptoms I got, just started taking vitamin D supplement and getting out in the sun, So if you’re reading this always check you labs even when the doctor says everything is ok 🙏🏻 hope to get better soon

Any teenagers here? I'm 16 y.o. and have terrible fatigue and another symptoms, can't wait for checking my vitamin D levels.

I am 65 years, nine months and 22 days as of this comment. I just found out that I have low vitamin D. I am a very physical female that do the necessary everyday responsibilities and never gets tired or exhausted. My Primary Care Provider prescribed Vitamin D for me to take once a week. I have not had any cold or pain medications in my body for decades. I went online to see side effects of taking Vitamin D pills and saw lots of negative side effects. I came on RU-vid to hear other people stories taking Vitamin D pills. My hair has been thinning for many years and I do have a balding spot in the front top roof. I wear my hair natural and enjoy not spending my time worrying on hairstyles. I will be searching online to see what else to get vitamin D up to normal. I have not taken the Vitamin D pill as of this comment. If numbers from hospital tests is what they go by for deficiency, then we all will have low or high or abnormal results. I want to know which company made the Vitamin D pill and what is in the pill. Whatever they did I want to make it myself. If I had to depend on taking a pill to have my Vitamin D sufficient, I would be an addict needing it. The sun should be my Vitamin D source and as much as I love the sun’s brightness and heat, I will be getting out more. I worked in the sun for over 30 plus years doing lawn service. The heat never bothered me and I really loved my work and the outdoor life.

I experienced this this year it was wild !

OMG.... I am happy I found this video.... made me feel normal 😌... my Vitamin D level came back at 10.... they gave me Vitamin D2 one a week and going back in 3months....... I thght I was depressed too... or just going through a phase.... but it was just Vitamin D...... I just took my first vitamin...wish me luck

Always listen to your mom

New subscriber here. What a wonderful, informative video. Thank you. Also, the genuine concern and caring towards your audience is appreciated. I will have my D level checked bc I'm exhibiting some of the same symptoms. Appreciate the timelessness of this video. ❤️

My girlfriend has a vitamin D deficiency, was curious to know how it is for her. I appreciate her even more now 🤧

My doctor told me that my vitamin D levels we’re at 20 and then proceeded to tell me that those levels weren’t that low. But I feel like that is in accurate because I have been having a crazy amount of symptoms. I have heart palpitations, chest pain, dizziness, extreme muscle weakness, brain fog, and the list goes on. I feel like a lot of doctors have different opinions and mixed opinions about what levels are actually low. They have me on thyroid medicine which I think is bullshit because the whole time they told me to stop supplementing and told me I had a thyroid problem. I’m 21 years old and I’ve been suffering with this for almost a year now. I don’t know what I should do at this point.

This lady loves to hear herself talk. Glad you feel better though.

My levels were 4 as well, and I didn't know, but I knew something was off with me...I could not take a shower with even minimal heat, or I would get winded, I didn't want to do anything in life anymore, I was beyond depressed, I thought it was over for me. Anyhow, I found out my Vitamin D was extremely low, because I asked my Doctor to run a Vitamin Deficiency Test, and that's when I got the results, a day after. Like Reality was fading fast, it was just so many disturbing symptoms.... I started taking prescribed Vitamin D 50,000 Bion Cap once a week, a Mega dose to increase my levels....and I'm currently in my 6th week so far, and I've notice major changes already...

Anyone has/had insomnia as a result of Vit D deficiency?

Vitamin k 2 is needed when using large amount vitamin D. IMPORTANT these are fat soluble; take with some fats. ref. dr. e. berg's videos. I take these faithfully.

My vit D was 10, B-12 was 150, i started taking vit D pill 60,000 IU once a week and injections for B-12, just in a month my skin started become fair, glowing, a lot of energy, it seems i am going to break gym dumbbells. 😎😎

I droped to 5. I had strange blood pressure problems where if I would get up fast my head would feel like it was going to explode. Did you have memory problems? This is also one of the symptoms of low vitamin D. It got so bad that I would leave a freshly poured glass of water on the kitchen counter to then come across it casually and realize: how in the h did I just forget that. Also when I would talk to my friends I would forget a lot of things; like my total recall and my photographic memory were nil. I always had strong memory when I was younger; After recovering I still do, but with the vitamin d deficiency I was in a muddle of confusion as to why my once good memory went to crap miced with my constant memory issues. I was always tired too and cold. I never wanted to do anything either. Id turn my space heater on and curl up under the blankets. I felt like I was going mad. All these things are gone after 3 months on vitamin d supplements and a mg my doc prescribed to me: I don't recall the mg amount. As High melanin folks we need more sun than the other lighter complexion peoples. NYC is a dark city, ideally we belong in heat and sunshine and happiness lol I also felt it was due to age, that is not the case. I was flexitarian but more on the vegetable side and pescatarian diet- fish is also and must be eaten carefully baring in mind mercury levels

Since Covid, Back in 2020. I was happy go lucky, smiling etc. Later Instarted experiencing anxiety symptoms. Lately over the past year I have experienced heart palpations, flutters, tremors, fatigue, I can't concentrate, more headaches than normal etc. I was told after my 2 recent labs that my vitamin D is low. I almost convinced these symptoms are vitamin D deficiency. I am going to start taking magnesium too. I have been through what feels like hell over the past 2 years. I pray for relief.

This video plus the comments were VERY helpful. Ty!

My level is at a 6 I’m so exhausted 😩 and I have anemia its the worse.. I didn’t even know my vitamin d levels were this low but I just started taking vitamin d pills yesterday I hope I feel better soon

I had this moment when i went to atlanta.I realize i was low on vitamin d when i was very tired.My levels been low for a long time

anyone suffer some kind of insomnia here ?

Just get my Vitamin D test result and it was 19.7 they say 20-30 is ok but I think must be around 50 - 55, poor memory, getting upset easily, anxiety and can't think straight always lack of energy to do anything just wanna sit and relax...I just start to take vitamin D and hopefully it will be better. So how do I know it was about the Vitamin D ? I saw a psychologist post on social media and he says a patient of him took antidepressant like 2 years but nothing changed, when they checked his vitamin levels it was terrible, this is how they found solution.

I have a vitamin D deficiency My levels are an 8 I have to take the vitamin twice a day I experience a lot of bone pain & daily migraines

Sad, some people n family are closed to simple things like supplements😞😪

Hey Raven! Thanks for your story. I live in NYC. And I am also very low ! Hope your well :)

Prior to my Vit D deficiency I had a lot of energy. I worked labor and was under the sun for 4-6 hours per day from Mon-Sat. I ate a lot of steak and had a lot of energy. I felt like superman. Fast forward to this year I finally transitioned to running my own businesses and was more indoors and ate poorly. I went from Superman to having no energy to grab groceries or cook. It led to low appetite, dry skin, dandruff, low T, easily stressed, procastination, bloating, ankle pain, weight gain, and eating once or twice a day tops. It caused a lot of digestive issues (IBS). My wounds wouldn't even heal fast enough like it use to. I'm currently taking 4,000 IU of D3 per day, increased my protein intake. My calcium, magnesium, and K2 are all in one pill. You need to take those when taking Vit D. Food alternatives: raw cacao has high amount of magnesium, like a lot. Kefir for calcium and vitamins and high probiotics. fish, chicken, beef, chicken liver, eggs contains all sort of amino acids and co. Pretty easy to eat those every day. Sliced and sun dried mushrooms for Vit D2.

Hey, had the same issues, just want to let you know that vegans need to supplement both vitamin D and B12, don.t forget about B12, might be even worse than a vit D deficiency.

Thank you for sharing this information. I just found out im vitamin d deficienct as well. Would like to ADD THAT 15 - 20 minutes in the sun is for Wyt people. Black people need between 45-1 hour sun exposure because our melanin makes it hard to absorb♡♡ also, liquid vitamin D is best. More expensive but its absorbed faster.

I recently had labs done. Looking at my results, my Vit D level was 19 in 2019 & now is 17. Never got a call from the doctors office telling me it was low. I've been going 4+ years with low Vit D levels & never knew about it. It's sad I have to look this stuff up online. Taking 5,000 IUD daily for the past few days & have no idea if I am taking enough or too much. I can tell you I'm starting to feel better. My body doesn't ache as much.

Oh I think that I might have a defiency too. Thanks for the video I will do a bloodwork also. Hope you feel better now🧡🧡
