By way of statistics, here in Australia, the rate of Vitamin D deficiency is between 23% and 30%,” says Dr Harry, Co-Founder & Medical Director of Truth Origins.
Vitamin D deficiency can manifest in many different ways, with Dr Harry recommending that “if you happen to suffer from frequent illness, fatigue or tiredness, joint or back pain, depression, impaired wound healing, unexplained hair loss or muscle pain, a test for Vitamin D deficiency is highly advisable.”
Vitamin D can be obtained through food sources like salmon, mushrooms, soybeans, and almonds, however taking a supplement like SHINE is the best way to ensure you’re meeting your daily requirements.
