Struggling with Fibromyalgia? Here’s What You Need to Know
If you have fibromyalgia and you’re still suffering from pain, fatigue, and inflammation, there’s a critical factor you might be overlooking—Vitamin D levels.
The Truth About Vitamin D & Fibromyalgia
When I analyze extensive bloodwork in my clients, I often find that people with fibromyalgia have suboptimal vitamin D levels. But here’s the problem:
👉 Standard lab ranges say vitamin D should be between 30 and 100… This is a huge range!
👉 But if you have fibromyalgia, you don’t want your levels at 30, 40, or even 50!
Where Should Your Vitamin D Levels Be?
🔹 Research shows that fibromyalgia sufferers should aim for a vitamin D level of 80
🔹 At this level, your body has the best chance to reduce pain & inflammation
How Does Vitamin D Help Alleviate Fibromyalgia Symptoms?
✅ Supports muscle and nerve function
✅ Reduces chronic pain & inflammation
✅ Boosts energy and immune health
What Should You Do Next?
✔ Check your bloodwork—is your vitamin D below 80?
✔ If it’s too low, start supplementing with vitamin D daily! You can do this easily over the counter, and also try to get more sunshine for natural Vitamin D.
✔ Monitor your levels & adjust as needed
