7 Subtle Symptoms of Vitamin D Deficiency to Be Aware Of.

Vitamin D is an essential nutrient that is crucial for our health. The vitamin has powerful effects on several systems throughout our body. It boosts immunity, prompts cell growth, keeps the bones robust and the skin healthy, and even helps create new hair follicles. We primarily absorb vitamin D through sun exposure but it can also be taken through dietary supplements and by eating certain foods, like fatty fish. That being said, getting enough of this vitamin is difficult from food products alone. Fortunately, a variety of vitamin D supplements can help you in that regard. Today, vitamin D deficiency has become very common across all age groups. It's estimated that about 1 billion people worldwide have low levels of the vitamin in their blood. Some of the common risk factors for vitamin D deficiency are:

Some of the common risk factors for vitamin D deficiency are:

* Staying mostly indoors.

* Not eating enough fish or dairy.

* Being overweight or obese.

* Living in a region where there is little sun year-round.

* Being elderly.

Most of those apply to me. I do take a vitamin D supplement everyday.
