There are a number of other factors that can increase your risk of vitamin d deficiency including: obesity, if you wear a large amount of SPF, those with darker skin tones (which create less vitamin D), age (as you age you develop less vitamin D), if you spend a large amount of time indoors.
What is the procedure?
Vitamin D injections are incredibly safe. Before we administer anything to you we will carry out a thorough assessment of your physical health and calculate the correct dose. The treatment will only take a matter of moments.
Additional Info
Although we get Vitamin D from our food, we do not get enough, and what we do eat is usually poorly absorbed. 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.
