1. Vitamin D deficiency and osteoporosis

One of vitamin D’s main roles is to maintain bone health. Low levels of this nutrient lead to low bone calcium, increasing the odds of fractures.

According to the Mayo Clinic, osteoporosis is one of the illnesses linked to vitamin D deficiency. The disease happens when new bone doesn’t produce at the same pace as the loss of old bone.

Low levels of vitamin D decrease calcium absorption, and calcium absorption is essential for bone health. If you’re already at risk of developing osteoporosis, you may want to keep your vitamin D levels in check.

For healthy people who may not have osteoporosis, experts are still trying to find out whether supplementing with vitamin D can help.
