Private Medical Clinic provides Vitamin D Injections in our Birmingham and London clinics. Vitamin D is a vital fat-soluble vitamin with a substantial role in enhancing the absorption of calcium and phosphate from the intestines. These functions are critical for sustaining strong bone health and a resilient immune system.
Although vitamin D is essential for our health, our bodies don’t always efficiently absorb the required amount. Surprisingly, a study has unveiled that 1 in 4 people in our country is deficient in vitamin D. Check your vitamin D levels at one of our clinics
While vitamin D can be acquired through dietary sources and exposure to sunlight, there are instances when supplementation becomes essential. You should contemplate vitamin D injections when:
Meeting your recommended daily vitamin D intake through food or sun exposure is a challenge.
Your medical conditions or baseline vitamin D levels suggest a deficiency.
Difficulties in absorbing vitamin D from food arise due to poor intestinal absorption.
You favour the efficiency and efficacy of vitamin D injections.
Ordinarily, vitamin D treatment comprises three intramuscular injections per year, administered at designated intervals. Nevertheless, the precise dosage varies according to individual patient considerations, including medical conditions and baseline vitamin D levels. A standard vitamin D injection typically contains 300,000 IU of vitamin D3.
It’s worth emphasising that for individuals with severe vitamin D deficiency, the advantages of vitamin D injections frequently surpass those of oral supplements. This approach proves particularly advantageous for individuals with dark skin, kidney issues, or absorption challenges.
Symptoms of a vitamin D deficiency
Insufficient vitamin D levels can elevate your vulnerability to various health issues, such as heart disease, osteoporosis, diabetes, and depression. Look out for these potential indicators suggesting you might require more vitamin D:
