Vitamin D Deficiency in Dubai: Symptoms & Treatment
It is ironic that in one of the sunniest cities on earth, Vitamin D deficiency is widespread. At DCDC, we see patients daily who struggle with unexplained fatigue, only to find their Vitamin D levels are critically low.
The "Indoor Generation" Problem
In Dubai, we avoid the intense sun. We work in offices, drive cars with tinted windows, and live in malls. This lack of UVB exposure prevents our skin from producing Vitamin D naturally.
Why Vitamin D Matters
- Bone health (calcium absorption)
- Immune system function
- Mood regulation (reducing depression risk)
- Energy levels
