Symptoms of Vitamin D deficiency.. Pay attention to these warning signs!

Vitamin D helps regulate the amount of calcium and phosphate in the body, both of which are necessary to maintain healthy bones, teeth, and muscles. If you don't get enough vitamin D, you may feel tired throughout the day, muscle weakness, and depression, despite resting or sleeping well.

And the NHS says other symptoms of vitamin D deficiency include muscle aches and weakness, stumbling walking or chronic pain throughout the body, and bone pain in the lower back, pelvis and feet.

The newspaper "Express" quoted the authority as saying that you cannot overdose on vitamin D through exposure to sunlight, although you can take it from nutritional supplements. Vitamin D is produced inside the body when ultraviolet rays from sunlight hit the skin and stimulate the formation of Vitamin D.

There are several benefits of vitamin D, the most important of which is that it helps to enhance the absorption of calcium in the intestine, which allows normal bone mineralization, and prevents cramps and contractions. Moreover, vitamin D is necessary for strengthening bones and preventing their fragility.

In the summer months, most people get enough vitamin D through exposure to sunlight and a healthy, balanced diet, while in the winter months, some may need to obtain nutritional supplements for this vitamin after the doctor conducts an examination and determines the necessary dose if the patient needs to supplements.

It should be noted that the increase in vitamin D may also lead to health damage, and according to the British Health Service, taking too many vitamin D supplements over a long period of time can cause the accumulation of too much calcium in the body, which can weaken the bones and damage the kidneys and heart. If you exceed the maximum, it may lead to nausea, vomiting and loss of appetite.
