7 Signs You May Have Vitamin D Deficiency
Vitamin D helps your body absorb calcium, keep bones strong and support immunity. Despite plenty of sunshine, deficiency is very common in India — including in Bareilly — because of indoor lifestyles, covered clothing and diet.
Common signs of low Vitamin D
- Constant tiredness or low energy that doesn't improve with rest.
- Bone or lower-back pain, and aching muscles.
- Frequent colds or infections — vitamin D supports immune defence.
- Hair thinning and slow wound healing.
- Low mood, especially in winter.
- Muscle weakness or cramps.
- Bone fragility in older adults.
Who should get tested?
Adults who stay mostly indoors, people over 50, pregnant women, and anyone with the symptoms above. A simple blood test called Vitamin D (25-OH) measures your level — no fasting needed.
