Christmas Quiz

Spotlight on Vitamin D
Vitamin D3 plays a vital role in our bone health. Without this vitamin, we cannot absorb calcium from our diet which is essential for strong bones and teeth, as well as a healthy, balanced immune system.
Low vitamin D levels are very common in the UK population during these winter months. Strong sun (over UV3 index) to exposed skin with no sun lotion on can produce up to 20,000 iu in 30 mins. This can only happen in the UK in the summer from April to September, 11AM-4PM (your shadow needs to be shorter than you to make vitamin D). Our 4000 iu sub-lingual tablets are like a daily dose of 5 minutes of strong sunshine.
Some of the common symptoms of vitamin D deficiency include:
- bone pain
- fatigue
- muscle weakness or aches
- feelings of depression
- low energy levels
- hair loss
- impaired cognition
Some treatment options that we offer are:
- Intramuscular booster – this is a booster of vitamin D into the muscle. The dosage can vary depending on the level of deficiency and is normally to be repeated every 3-6 months until the condition resolves.
- Vitamin D3 + K2 sublinguals - When tucked between cheek and gum our sublingual lozenges allow for fast absorption of vitamin D3 and K2 into your bloodstream. This is a really efficient way of maximising the benefit of this tablet as it avoids any gut issues you may have that might hamper absorption via the digestive tract. They contain 4000 iu (100 mcg) of vitamin D3 and 150 mcg of Vitamin K2.
- Vitamin D3 + K2 drops - These are liquid meaning that they are easy for dosing children and each bottle contains 550 drops. For every 3 drops you receive 1000 iu (25 mcg) of vitamin D3 and 35 mcg of K2. For every 12 drops you receive 4000 iu (100 mcg) of vitamin D3 and 150 mcg of K2.
All the best,
Sam, Patrick and the Team at Kube Medical

Stay Strong, Steady and Independent: Join Our Falls Prevention and Strength Classes at Kube Medical
As the days get shorter and the air turns crisp, many of us start dreaming about fresh powder, mountain air, and that first exhilarating run of the ski season. But before you dust off your boots, it’s worth thinking about one crucial thing: your body’s readiness. Whether you’re a seasoned skier eager to hit the slopes from day one, or an occasional skier looking to make the most of a long-awaited trip, a little “pre-hab” — preparing your body in advance — can make all the difference between an enjoyable week on the mountain and one cut short by fatigue or injury.
Hello September! As the seasons change, we’ve got some important team updates, clinic news, and a special offer to help keep your treatment plan on track. Here’s everything you need to know this month from the team at Kube Medical.
Weight-loss injections have become a hot topic. Three in particular—Wegovy (semaglutide), Ozempic (semaglutide for diabetes), and Mounjaro (tirzepatide)—are often discussed. Here’s how they compare, based on evidence and FAQs.
There’s no easy way to put it — the sudden closure of Private Midwives has left a real void, both professionally and personally, for many highly experienced tongue tie practitioners. It’s disrupted livelihoods, interrupted the continuity of care for families, and forced many to face a wave of uncertainty.
