Vitamin D

From £150

Prescription Only

Vitamin D is essential for building and maintaining healthy bones, teeth and muscles and many other cellular functions in your body. It has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and neuroprotective properties, supports your immune health, muscle function and brain cell activity.

The sun stimulates Vitamin D production in our bodies, but the amount of vitamin D your skin makes depends on many factors, including the time of day, season, latitude and your skin pigmentation.

Depending on where you live and your lifestyle, vitamin D production might decrease or be completely absent during the winter months. Sunscreen, while so important to prevent skin cancer, also can decrease vitamin D production.

The best way to replenish your stores of Vitamin D is via a daily oral supplement and the NHS recommends that everyone should consider taking a vitamin D supplement of 10mcg daily during the autumn and winter. However, we can also use an Intramuscular (IM) product in those patients who need it or don’t want to take a daily supplement. Vitamin D IM boosters absorb quickly to replenish your levels of Vitamin D and last 3-6 months.
