Question: Why does perimenopause make you tired or affect your energy?
Answer: Here’s what you need to know! Fatigue, feeling off, aching muscles, or weak muscles - these symptoms are associated with vitamin D deficiency and are also common complaints during perimenopause.
A vitamin D deficiency does have the potential for worsening our perimenopause symptoms.
In the UK and Ireland, we’re sun-deprived much of the year. We use sunblock to protect our skin and most of us don't eat lots of oily fish and liver. So, it puts us at risk of a vitamin D deficiency, which can impact the health of our bones, muscles, immune system, and our energy levels.
How to top up your vitamin D levels during perimenopause
I use this daily multi-nutrient supplement, which contains 100% NRV* of vitamin D, as a quick-me-up electrolyte when I'm feeling stiff as a board or achy, or when I'm feeling drained or frazzled and I want my energy back fast. It's aptly named Balance Perimenopause Multi-nutrient drink.
