Vitamin
D
Depressed people
that are deficient in
Vitamin D can benefit by supplementing with this fat soluble vitamin.
Our body has the ability to produce Vitamin D within our skin. At the
epidermal layer our skin can produce Vitamin D through a photochemical
reaction that converts 7-dehydrocholesterol into Vitamin D3. In order
to facilitate that reaction we need to be exposed to UV rays and lack
of adequate sunshine exposure can be directly related to lower Vitamin
D levels and the resulting “Winter Depression” or
“Winter Blues”. People that suffer from Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) are often reporting positive results when supplementing with Vitamin D.
In addition to its mood enhancing properties, Vitamin D also
strengthens immune support and aids in increasing the absorption of
Calcium.
