10 Vitamin D Deficiency Symptoms

Symptom #5: Slow Wound Healing
Something important to be aware of is the way that vitamin D impacts your body's ability to heal its wounds. If you do not get enough vitamin D, you're liable to experience impaired wound healing. This can be particularly problematic for people who are going through surgery or serious injuries.
Since vitamin D is involved in fighting inflammation and infections, it can be very useful for helping to control the speed of wound healing. On the other hand, infections are likely to last much longer in people who are deficient in vitamin D.
