Symptoms of Vitamin D deficiency and how to prevent it
Vitamin D, essential for our well-being, is often depleted by lifestyles and environmental conditions that limit our sun exposure, especially in areas where the winter sun is not enough to maintain our optimal levels.
Pollution and habits such as excessive use of sunscreen, as well as factors such as diet and certain physical conditions, also contribute to this deficiency. This post discusses the symptoms and causes behind vitamin D deficiency and suggests strategies to recharge our reserves.

Put a stop to a deficiency as soon as possible, which, if left untreated and prolonged over time, could lead to serious consequences.

Musculoskeletal pain: generalized pain that affects quality of life.
Depression: lack of vitamin D has been linked to a higher incidence of depression.
