Feeling Fatigued? The Answer Could Be a Simple Deficiency.
Before exploring complex hormonal issues, it's crucial to check for common nutritional deficiencies that can cause fatigue, low mood, and poor concentration. Our Vitamin Panel tests for two of the most important "energy nutrients": Vitamin D and Vitamin B12.
Vitamin D: The "Sunshine Vitamin"
Vitamin D is technically a hormone, and it plays a vital role in hundreds of bodily functions. Deficiencies are extremely common, especially in places with limited sun exposure.
Symptoms of Low Vitamin D:
- Fatigue and general tiredness
- Bone and back pain
- Low mood or depression
- Impaired wound healing
- Muscle weakness
Research has also shown a strong link between optimal Vitamin D levels and healthy testosterone production.
Vitamin B12: The "Energy Vitamin"
Vitamin B12 is essential for creating red blood cells (which carry oxygen), synthesizing DNA, and maintaining healthy nerve function. Deficiencies are common in vegetarians and vegans, as well as in older adults.
Symptoms of Low Vitamin B12:
- Fatigue, weakness, and lightheadedness (due to anemia)
- Pale skin
- A smooth tongue
- Numbness or tingling in the hands and feet (nerve issues)
- Brain fog and memory problems
A Simple Test, A Powerful Solution
The good news is that these deficiencies are easy to identify with a simple blood test and straightforward to correct with proper supplementation. For many people, optimizing their Vitamin D and B12 levels results in a dramatic improvement in energy and overall wellbeing.
