If you are feeling any of the following, then you are risk of Vitamin D deficiency:
1 Hair loss - Vitamin D stimulates hair follicles to grow, and so when the body does not have enough, the hair may be affected. A vitamin D deficiency may also be linked to alopecia areata, an autoimmune condition that causes patchy hair loss.
2 Muscle and joint pain - Vitamin D status influences musculoskeletal health. Low vitamin D levels may lead to clinical manifestations, including bone pain, muscle weakness, falls, low bone mass, and fractures.
3 Halted weight loss - If you're struggling with weight loss, there's a very good chance you're also struggling to store adequate amounts of vitamin D in your body.
4 Bone loss - Vitamin D plays a crucial role in calcium absorption and bone metabolism. Low bone mineral density is an indication that your bones have lost calcium and other minerals. This places older adults, especially women, at an increased risk of fractures.
5 Fatigued and tired - Feeling tired can stem from a number of causes, one of which may be vitamin D deficiency.
6 Depressed and delayed wound healing - Vitamin D is as vital for mental health as it's essential for physical health. Not having enough of the vitamin can lead to depression-like symptoms. Slow wound healing after surgery or injury may also be a sign that your vitamin D levels are too low.
7 Low immunity - The active form of vitamin D tempers the damaging inflammatory response of some white blood cells, while it also boosts immune cells' production of microbe-fighting proteins.
