Let say few words about vitamin D deficiency. After vitamin D is ingested or generated because of exposure to sun, our blood carries it to liver. In liver, vitamin D gets altered to prohormone calcidiol, which later can become calcitriol if needed. Calcitriol main function is to help the body in fight against microbes, but it also regulates levels of calcium and phosphate in our blood.

Because of it’s ability to control level of calcium, some of vitamin d deficiency causes are poor skeleton and bone structure in children and osteoporosis in adults. Vitamin D deficiency occurs when the body fails to get an adequate amount of vitamin D from exposure to sun, vitamin D rich foods and various vitamin D supplements.
