Vitamin D

My son is currently on the Children's communication pathway. He's had blood tests which showed low himaglobin and ferritin, those are sorted now thanks to iron supplements, so cue the 2nd blood test which has now come back low vitamin d, has anyone had experience with this who can share the outcome? We've been told to wait for a prescription but I've no idea what it will be, how serious it is etc. Thanks in advance

  • pretty sure you dont need a prescription for vitamin D...

    you can buy vitamin D supplements any time... but the best bet is to see which foods have it and try include those foods in the diet... i think eggs contain alot of it as since i started having eggs each day for breakfast with my toast i have felt better, and vitamin D supposedly combats depressiveness and makes you feel in a better mood so i guess thats the vit D in the eggs working.... and dietary vitamin d from foods is always more effective than supplements.
