Hello Spring! Why Sunshine, Vitamin D and Vigor Essential Can Boost Your Mood ☀️💗

Hello Spring! Why Sunshine, Vitamin D and Vigor Essential Can Boost Your Mood ☀️💗

Can we all agree that the first hint of spring sunshine feels magical? Suddenly the days are brighter, your mood lifts, and everything feels a little more manageable. But there’s more to that feel-good spring vibe than just blue skies—it’s also about Vitamin D.

After months of grey days and chilly weather, your body might be running on low reserves of this essential nutrient. And if you’ve spent winter feeling tired, foggy, and constantly catching bugs, there’s a good chance Vitamin D deficiency is playing a role.

Let’s break it down…


🌧️ Why do I feel so tired in winter?

Short days and limited sunlight mean you’re producing less Vitamin D, which is essential for energy production and regulating mood. Low levels have been linked to fatigue, brain fog and even seasonal low mood.

Even if you eat well, it’s almost impossible to get enough Vitamin D from food alone. So, unless you’ve been sunbathing in January (unlikely in the UK!), your body might need a top-up.


🤧 Why do I keep getting ill all the time?

Vitamin D also plays a key role in supporting your immune system. If you’re constantly catching colds, feeling run down, or struggling to bounce back from illness, your immune response might be weakened by low D levels.

Vitamin D helps activate T-cells (your body’s defence squad), so without it, your immune system can’t do its job properly.


🧠 Why does sunshine make me feel happier?

Sunlight triggers Vitamin D production in your skin, which supports the release of serotonin—the “happy hormone.” It’s why we often feel more upbeat, energised and motivated in the warmer months.

Low Vitamin D = low mood, low motivation, and that general “meh” feeling.
