☀️Boost your mood with Vitamin D🌞
Generally speaking, the lower your vitamin D
the worse your mood, which makes vitamin D especially important to supplement in the autumn and winter when the angle of the sun is too low and you’re also less likely to get outdoors exposing your skin to sunlight.
🌞Ever noticed how everyone is in better form when they’ve had some time outside in the sun?
Vitamin D encourages the conversion of tryptophan into serotonin. Serotonin is a hormone found naturally in the brain and digestive tract. It is often referred to as the ‘happy hormone’ as it influences mood
in the brain. This may be partly why the lower your vitamin D level, the more depressed you are likely to feel. If your mood takes a dip in winter months this is sign that you might need more.
Studies have shown substantially lower rates of depression in people who supplement with vitamin D. An eight-week study in Australia found that some of those given vitamin D supplements had an improvement in mood in only five days.
🌞Vitamin D is also very important for children and teenagers, and in many countries is recommended for babies.
