Any Other Providers Vitamin D Deficient?

[Unregistered]

Were any of the rest of you extremely irritable when you were deficient? I don't know if it's just the adjustment to the career change or my group who just doesn't listen to me or clean up anything or if it's the deficiency, probably a combination of all three? I just want to be myself again, I hate feeling this way

Don't worry, I am very good at not letting the kids know I'm irritable, but I feel bad for my poor hubby as I've been so short with him

I am/ hopefully was slightly deficient in vitamin d also. I am hoping the multivitamin will help with this. It was a first for me!

I don't think I've ever been tested for vitamin D deficiency, but my doctor checks my B (both B6 and B12) levels whenever I go in. I take supplements for them, but my levels are still usually at the lower end of normal. I guess B vitamin deficiencies are common in people who don't eat wheat (or gluten), although I'm not sure why since I'm think rice flour (and rice flours is a common base for alternative flour blends) is higher in B6 than wheat flour.

But I'm generally pretty fatigued so maybe I should add in some more vitamin D and see if that helps.

I have this too but have always attributed it to the fact that we live under cloudy skies all winter. It usually clears itself in spring. I multi-vitamin would probably really help you.

Most multi-vitamins and Vitamin-D enriched foods do not have enough vitamin D to even make a dent in a deficient person. Taking a broad supplement won't do much, and eating/drinking more dairy will just add calories. So, unless you're too thin, I'd go with the straight D.

I just picked up a bottle of vitamin d3. Did I get the right thing? Lol

I'm severely vitamin D deficient. My doctor actually told me that it has been linked to depression as well. This may be something for those of you who suffer from depression to look into.

D3 is correct, however your body won't absorb it right unless you take K2 also. I found that you also have to be picky about brands because of the fillers... turns out I can't take certain ones due to allergic reactions
