10 Vitamin D Deficiency Symptoms

Symptom #6: Decrease In Bone Weight
We have already mentioned that vitamin D deficiency can contribute to bone and joint pain. However, it can also directly affect the weight of our bones. This is particularly true for older people. Many elderly persons who are diagnosed with bone loss are quick to take calcium supplements. However, in many cases they are simply deficient in vitamin D and this prevents their bodies from utilizing the calcium that they're already consuming.
If your bone density is decreasing, it's an indication that you're not absorbing calcium or other bone-healthy minerals. This can increase your risk for fractures and breaks.
