Symptom 7: Noticeable Hair Loss
Losing some hair is a normal part of the aging process for both men and women. However, if you notice a sudden increase in shedding or significant thinning, it might be more than just age. Severe vitamin D deficiency has been linked to hair loss, a condition known as alopecia.
Vitamin D helps create new hair follicles, the tiny pores from which new hair grows. When levels are too low, this process can be stunted, leading to thinning hair over time. While hair loss can be caused by many factors, including genetics, stress, and other medical conditions, a nutrient deficiency is an angle that is often missed.
