VITAMIN D: WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOUR BODY DOES NOT HAVE ENOUGH OF IT?

Symptoms

In children, the deficiency of vitamin D causes rickets. In this condition, the bones of the body become soft and bend. In the case of adults, the deficiency can also cause bones to pain and muscles to weaken.

If there is a chronic deficiency of this vitamin it can lead to osteoporosis. Medicine Net defines Osteoporosis as “a condition of fragile bone with an increased susceptibility to fracture.”
