The #1 Vitamin Deficiency Holding Black Women Back
Let’s get right into it: Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D3 deficiencies are the biggest culprits when it comes to low energy in Black women.
📌 B12 Deficiency = Extreme Fatigue & Brain Fog
Vitamin B12 plays a crucial role in energy production, brain function, and mood balance. A deficiency can leave you feeling:
- Exhausted, no matter how much sleep you get
- Forgetful or foggy-headed
- Sluggish and unmotivated
📌 D3 Deficiency = Mood Swings & Weak Immunity
Most Black women are severely deficient in Vitamin D3 because our melanin reduces how much D3 we absorb from the sun. Low D3 levels can cause:
- Low energy and frequent sickness
- Mood swings and feelings of sadness or anxiety
- Muscle weakness and joint pain
Sis, if you’ve been feeling like you’re running on 0% battery, these deficiencies might be the reason!
How to Boost Your Energy & Feel Like YOU Again
1️⃣ Start Taking High-Quality Supplements
- B12 & D3 should be at the top of your list!
- Consider collagen supplements to support skin, joints, and hair health.
2️⃣ Get Your Levels Checked
- Ask your doctor for a B12 & D3 blood test to see where you stand.
3️⃣ Prioritize Whole Foods
- Eat more leafy greens, fatty fish, eggs, and lean meats to increase B12 & D3 naturally.
4️⃣ Give Yourself Permission to REST
- Your body needs recovery time to restore its energy levels.
