Vitamin D deficiency

Some facts about Vitamin D deficiency:

• It is the most common. 
• Most under - diagnosed. 
• Causes body ache, vague leg pains, unexplained eye problems, growth problems in kids, etc. 
• Very expensive to diagnose in laboratory. 
• But a good physician can instantly recognise.
• Vitamin D deficiency is on a terrible rise now.

Many patients and physicians think that adequate vitamin D intake can be obtained via diet alone. This assumption is erroneous. With the exception of fatty fish, the vitamin D content of most foods, including fortified dairy products, is relatively low to nonexistent.  

Vitamin D supplementation is safe and inexpensive, but vitamin D deficiency often remains undiagnosed or is undertreated.
