The "standard" answer is that you will get rickets if you are a child. If you are an adult you will get osteomalacia or osteoporosis.
But researchers are now finding that vitamin D seems to be responsible for a whole host of functions that were never appreciated until recently.
Vitamin D's immune functions and regulation of both inflammation and cell death means that researchers are beginning to believe that not getting enough vitamin D may play a role in preventing:
colds and flu
autoimmune disorders
periodontal disease and
even many different cancers.

∙ 13y agoHypovitaminosis D is a deficiency of Vitamin D. It can result from: inadequate nutritional intake of vitamin D coupled with inadequate sunlight exposure (in particular sunlight with adequate ultra violet B rays), disorders that limit vitamin D absorption, and conditions that impair the conversion of vitamin D into active metabolites including certain liver, kidney, and hereditary disorders Deficiency results in impaired bone mineralization and leads to bone softening diseases including rickets in children and osteomalacia and osteoporosis in adults.
If you are worried about being Vitamin D deficient check out 10-in-one liquid vitamin, I have been taking it for 2 years and I found that it has all my vitamin and mineral supplement needs.

∙ 9y agoDepends if you need more or not.
If you have enough vitamin D already, there's no advantage from having more.
OTOH, it takes a lot to overdose on it.
If you're low on vitamin D, and don't take enough supplements, well, then you stay low on vitamin D. And expose yourself to the risks associated with vitamin D deficiency.
If you're OK on vit D, then not taking supplements will still leave you OK.
