10 Vitamin D3 Deficiency Symptoms
Symptom #5: Slow Wound Healing
Slow wound healing may not seem like too much of a big deal when it comes to a small paper cut or a shallow knee scrape. However, when it comes to wounds of the organs (closed wounds), and ulcers, or more severe chronic wounds, healing speed can make a big difference between levels of pain.
Several factors can affect the rate of wound healing. One of these things include vitamin D. One study found that vitamin D increases the production of compounds that are crucial for forming new skin. One study looked at individuals with diabetes. These participants had foot infections and it was found that those with severe vitamin D deficiency were more likely to have high levels on inflammatory markers than their counterparts.
