Muscle and bone weakness
Muscles and bones are more easily affected when vitamin D levels are significantly low. This is because there are also imbalances in magnesium levels, another essential mineral for keeping them strong and healthy.
Depression
Low levels of this essential nutrient are associated with a tendency to suffer from irritability, depression and sudden mood swings. Vitamin D is involved in the secretion of feel-good hormones and, therefore, its deficiency affects mental health.
Inflammation and pain
Similar to many other essential nutrients, vitamin D is involved in controlling inflammatory processes in the body, preventing problems such as sensitivity to pain or joint problems.
Low levels increase the risk of suffering from these types of disorders, making it difficult to combat chronic pain.
Dental problems
As we have already indicated, a lack of vitamin D makes it difficult for the teeth to absorb and use calcium properly, increasing the risk of infections and tooth loss.
This, in addition to the inflammatory problems involved, generates symptoms such as redness, inflammation and bleeding of the gums.
