Abstract

Michael J. Gonzalez

Vitamin D deficiency means that your body does not have enough vitamin D. Vitamin D is unique in that your skin actually uses sunlight to produce it. Fair-skinned and young people convert vitamin D to vitamin D much better than people over the age of 50 in the dark. Vitamin D is one of the many vitamins our body needs to stay healthy. This vitamin has many functions, including: Keep Bones Strong: Healthy bones protect you from a variety of illnesses, including rickets. Rickets makes children's bones weak and soft. It is caused by a deficiency of vitamin D in the body. Vitamin D is required to be able to use calcium and phosphorus for bone building. In adults, the presence of softened bone is a condition called osteomalacia.
