Signs Of Vitamin D Deficiency

Bone loss
Muscle painVitamin D plays a vital role in boosting the immune system and helping your body absorb dietary calcium, a mineral needed by your bones, teeth and other tissues. Its deficiency may leave you more susceptible to muscle spasms, joint pain, frequent bone fractures, hair loss, and delayed wound healing, recurring respiratory infections due to impaired immunity.
Vitamin D is a vitamin synthesized from cholesterol and sunlight and converted to a hormone! It’s also found in certain foods such as fatty fish and fortified dairy products, although it’s very difficult to get enough from the diet.
The recommended daily intake is usually around 400-800 IU, but many experts say you should get much more than that. Since vitamin D can be toxic it is important to monitor levels if supplementing for awhile. Vitamin D deficiency is extremely common. It’s estimated that about 1 billion people worldwide have low levels of the vitamin in their blood.
According to a 2011 study, almost 42% in the U.S. are deficient. This number goes up to 69.2 percent in Hispanics and 82.1 percent in African-Americans.
