Got Sunshine? Vitamin D is our Vitamin of the Month! Lets get your levels up!
Why fatigue, mood swings, and hormonal issues may be linked to this essential nutrient.
Are you exhausted or feeling more tired than usual? Struggling with brain fog, low mood, or frequent colds? These symptoms might not just be “part of getting older” or stress—they could be signs of a Vitamin D deficiency, one of the most common and overlooked nutrient gaps affecting people today.
At Blossom Med, we often see patients dealing with vague but frustrating symptoms that end up being rooted in something surprisingly simple: low Vitamin D levels. And once we address it? Energy, mood, and immunity all begin to improve.
Let’s talk about why this vital nutrient matters so much—and what your body might be trying to tell you.
π₯οΈ What Is Vitamin D and Why Do We Need It?
Vitamin D is often called the “sunshine vitamin” because our skin produces it when exposed to sunlight, however sun exposure is usually not enough to improve levels. Vitamin D is more than just a vitamin—it acts like a hormone in the body and plays a crucial role in many systems, including:
- Bone health & calcium absorption
- Immune system regulation
- Mood & brain function
- Metabolism & insulin sensitivity
- Hormonal balance
Despite its importance, an estimated 40% of adults in the U.S. are vitamin D deficient, and up to 90% do not meet the recommended daily intake. This gap in wellness is not equally shared—communities of color are disproportionately affected. Individuals with darker skin tones, including many Black and Hispanic/Latinx individuals, are at higher risk of deficiency due to reduced vitamin D absorption from sunlight. Studies show that approximately 62% of Hispanic/Latinx adults and 82% of Black adults may be deficient in vitamin D, reflecting the impact of systemic inequities in healthcare access, nutrition, and preventive screening.
β οΈ Signs Your Vitamin D Might Be Low
Vitamin D deficiency doesn’t always show up clearly at first. It often masks itself as common complaints that are easy to dismiss.
βCommon Symptoms of Low Vitamin D:
- Chronic fatigue or low energy
- Low mood, anxiety, irritability or depression
- Frequent colds, flus, or slow recovery from illness
- Muscle aches or joint pain
- Brain fog or difficulty concentrating
- Hair thinning
π How Deficiency Shows Up in Labs—And Why Symptoms Still Matter
The standard lab test for Vitamin D measures 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels in the blood. While most labs consider levels above 30 ng/mL as "normal," optimal health often requires levels closer to 50–80 ng/mL—especially if you're dealing with immune, hormonal, or metabolic issues.
At Blossom Med, we focus on functional and optimal ranges—not just barely-there levels.
Important note: You can have symptoms of deficiency even if your labs are "normal." That’s why we always treat the person, not just the number.
π What Can You Do About Low Vitamin D?
The good news? Vitamin D deficiency is easily correctable—with the right approach.
