Booster Shot - Vitamin D

Who is it for: 

The UK Government recommends that everyone in the UK supplements with Vitamin D for at least the winter months October to March when sunlight is at its lowest. It is thought that around 20% of the UK population is deficient in vitamin D.

​

Vitamin D ingested orally can take weeks, even months, to have an impact on your health – and much of the dose is lost when it is converted in the gut. However, intramuscular vitamin D injections have a much more immediate impact – some patients report feeling the effects right away. And because the vitamins are administered directly into the muscle, bypassing the gut, a much higher percentage of the vitamins can be utilised by the body.
