I Took Vitamin D For 30 Days, Here’s What Happened

Starting the Vitamin D Journey

A month ago, I embarked on a journey to take vitamin D daily. Initially, I was uncertain if supplementing was necessary, so I decided to test my vitamin D levels. The process was straightforward; I received a kit, did a simple blood spot test, and mailed it back. The results indicated a vitamin D level of 21, which is significantly lower than the ideal range of 50 to 70.

Understanding My Vitamin D Deficiency

As a redhead, it’s generally assumed that I would naturally absorb vitamin D more efficiently. However, living in the Northwest with little sun exposure during the winter months and working in a dark basement contributed to my low levels. Alongside low light exposure, I had been experiencing fatigue, mood swings, and decreased focus, which led me to suspect a deficiency.

Initial Steps and Expectations

With my vitamin D deficiency confirmed, I began taking 10,000 IUs of vitamin D3 daily. Initially, I didn’t notice any changes during the first week, which is common when beginning a new supplement regimen.

Noticing Changes in Energy and Mood

By the second week, I experienced a slight improvement in energy and mood. Although it wasn’t a dramatic change, it was a step in the right direction and was the only variable I had altered in my health routine.

Significant Improvements by Week Three

During the third week, I observed a noticeable improvement in my focus and energy levels throughout the day. My mood improved significantly, and I attributed these benefits to the vitamin D supplementation.

Enhanced Well-being in the Fourth Week

As I approached the end of the fourth week, I felt healthier overall. Importantly, I no longer felt exhausted at the end of the day, allowing me to enjoy more quality time with my family without feeling drained.

Assessing the Impact on Brain Fog

A persistent issue for me had been brain fog, which seemed to diminish by the end of the month. The vitamin D likely played a crucial role in clearing this fog, optimizing both my focus and energy.

Re-testing My Vitamin D Levels

After completing 30 days of supplementation, I retested my vitamin D levels. The results were encouraging, showing a near-doubling of my levels to 45, much closer to the healthy range. This marked improvement confirmed the benefits of the regimen.

The Importance of Monitoring Nutrient Deficiencies

This experience has reinforced the importance of monitoring and addressing nutrient deficiencies. Small changes, like addressing a vitamin D deficiency, can result in significant improvements in energy, focus, and overall health.

Recognizing Signs of Deficiency

Many people lack awareness of the signs of vitamin D deficiency. Research shows that a significant portion of the global population has insufficient vitamin D levels. If you think you might have a deficiency, it’s worthwhile to get tested and consider the potential benefits of supplementation.
