Adcal D3 Tablets (Vitamin D & Calcium)

If you think you might be vitamin D deficient, book in to see your GP who will be able to diagnose you. You can also find vitamin D supplements in your local pharmacy.

Some common symptoms of vitamin D deficiency include:

• Being ill or sick more often than usual
• Fatigue and tiredness (a very commonly reported symptom)
• Bone and back pain
• Depression
• Hair loss
• Muscle pain

Calcium deficiency and vitamin D deficiency are very closely linked, as vitamin D is required for the absorption of calcium one often leads to the other.

Some common symptoms of calcium deficiency include:

• Muscle problems
• Fatigue
• Skin problems
• osteoporosis or osteomalacia
• Painful premenstrual problems in women
• Dental problems
• Depression

Persons commonly at risk for vitamin D deficiency include those with inadequate sun exposure, limited oral intake, or impaired intestinal absorption.

A variety of issues can cause a vitamin D deficiency. For example, strict dietary requirements such as those who have a vegan diet will find it harder to get all the vitamin D they require in food without the help of supplements. Having limited exposure to sunlight or having a darker skin tone makes you more likely to develop vitamin D deficiency.

In the UK, sunlight doesn’t contain enough UVB radiation in winter (October to early March) for our skin to be able to make vitamin D. During these months, we rely on getting our vitamin D from food sources (including fortified foods) and supplements.

Using sunbeds isn’t a recommended way of making vitamin D.

A vitamin D deficiency can lead to a calcium deficiency, further meaning that those with a vegan diet are more at risk as they also have a lower average calcium intake. High coffee or alcohol intake as well as an increased need for calcium (such as in pregnancy, breastfeeding and puberty) can also play a factor in deficiency.
