10 Vitamin D3 Deficiency Symptoms
Symptom #3: Bone and Back Pain
As children, we were always told to drink our milk to achieve strong and healthy bones. Vitamin D helps maintain bone health by aiding in the absorption of calcium. Low levels of vitamin D can affect calcium absorption, leading to poor bone health. Specifically, this can lead to bone and back pain.
There are numerous studies which have observed a relationship between back pain and vitamin D deficiency. For example, in a study with 9,000 women, those who had complaints of back pain were more likely to have the deficiency. Similarly, in another study, it was found that individuals with a vitamin D deficiency were twice as likely to experience bone pain in their legs, ribs, or joints than individuals who were not deficient.
