Symptom 6: Slow-Healing Wounds
This is a less common, but still important, sign to be aware of. If you’ve noticed that minor cuts, scrapes, or sores seem to take a very long time to heal, a Vitamin D deficiency could be playing a role. The vitamin is involved in the creation of new skin as part of the healing process.
It also helps control inflammation and fight off infection at the wound site, both of which are critical for proper and timely repair. While other conditions, like diabetes, are more well-known for causing slow healing, it’s a factor worth keeping in mind as part of the bigger picture of your overall health.
