7. Vitamin D deficiency and heart disease
Multiple studies seem to confirm that heart disease is among the illnesses linked to vitamin D deficiency. According to a recent review, there’s an association between low vitamin D blood levels and cardiovascular disease and related complications.
However, science hasn’t yet clearly established that supplementation reduces these risks. The review cited studies that point to levels of vitamin D as a potential culprit for health issues related to heart disease, including high blood pressure, atherosclerosis, diabetes, and stroke.
8. Vitamin D deficiency and breast cancer
It’s not just prostate cancer that shares a connection with low vitamin D levels. Similar to other illnesses linked to vitamin D deficiency, researchers have begun to identify some links between low levels of the nutrient and breast cancer.
A recent review indicated that most of the vitamin D studies back up the idea that vitamin D levels are inversely correlated with breast cancer risk. In other words, vitamin D deficiency was linked with a higher breast cancer risk.
Another study found that when exposed to high concentrations of vitamin D, breast cancer cells tend not to evolve into severe cancer cases. Yet, it’s important to note that, similar to other illnesses linked to vitamin D deficiency, breast cancer isn’t directly influenced by this nutrient’s levels.

I really hate when this happens. You say 10 health diseases with low Vitiam D, but never say what they are. If you going to start please finish.
They want you to buy things that might cause something else. And then they will sell you and advertise a medicine that cures it, without knowing if it really does!! That is what Obama/Clinton started and what made the creep a billionaire, starting at almost $0.

Same goes for this company selling a bottle of vitamins, slapping their name on the bottle & selling to nerve problem patients instead of just informing patients of the name & formula of these vitamins. Shame, shame.
A Doc told me my vitamin D level was too high…I was hoping to find info on it. You offer but don’t fulfill . I guess you have to get your quota of ads somehow. But it makes me hate the internet and its stupidity even more. Or perhaps it’s because I keep hoping people are honest and get disappointed.

Before taking any kind of supplementation, especially with vitamin D since it is a fat soluble and is stored for many weeks after work, get a vitamin D level done first achieve a baseline, and then supplement if needed vitamin supplements are just that they are to be utilized if you have a deficiency, not a preventative measure so many people take them thinking the boost and build up their immune system works with an actuality it can actually do more havoc on you and as with vitamin D, it takes about three to a month for it to start to stabilize and be utilized by your body after stopping listen to your body your body knows more than any doctor or anybody else?
