Experts say our body needs Vitamin D to absorb calcium and promote bone growth. Too little Vitamin D can result in soft bones in children (rickets) and fragile, misshapen bones in adults (osteomalacia). You also need Vitamin D for other important body functions. Vitamin D deficiency has now been linked to breast cancer, colon cancer, prostate cancer, heart disease, depression, weight gain, and other maladies. These studies show that people with higher levels of Vitamin D have a lower risk of disease, although they do not definitively prove that lack of vitamin D causes disease — or that Vitamin D supplements would lower risk.

7 out of 10 Filipinos lack Vitamin D

Based on a recent study conducted by Hi-Precision Diagnostics, more than eight thousand Pinoys from key cities were tested for Vitamin D deficiency. The test revealed that 7 out of 10 Filipinos lack Vitamin D. If you experience tiredness, fatigue, muscle and joint weakness or pain, you might be showing signs of Vitamin D deficiency.

Not all get the sufficient Vitamin D requirement they need. Vitamin D deficiency happens when one is not getting enough Vitamin D from the sun — using an umbrella and even sunscreen limit Vitamin D absorption. If you find difficult to obtain Vitamin D from food such as eggs, milk, and fish (such as salmon and tuna), then you are a candidate for Vitamin D deficiency. Lack of Vitamin D is a serious health issue.
