Vitamin D Deficiency
Widespread Vitamin D deficiency is very common in the UK during winter months. Symptoms of Vitamin D deficiency can be very non specific and range from muscle weakness to osteopenia. Evidence suggests that low levels of Vitamin D can contribute to chronic diseases such as cancer or Multiple Sclerosis (MS) . Being in one of the risk groups can increase the chance of Vitamin D deficiency.
