What will happen if you don't get any vitamin D in your body?

Answer 1

Low Vitamin D Can Mean Trouble

Vitamin D helps form and strengthen bones by allowing the body to absorb calcium. Without adequate vitamin D, bones become thin and brittle. The vitamin also helps our muscles and immune system function.

A deficiency in vitamin D is a concern because the nutrient appears to play a role in several serious medical conditions, including:

• Cancer - Research suggests that vitamin D may help protect against breast, prostate and colon cancer
• Diabetes - Vitamin D may reduce the risk for type I diabetes in children
• Heart disease - Low blood levels of vitamin D may be related to cardiovascular disease
• Osteoporosis - Low levels of vitamin D have been tied to osteoporosis and hip fractures in older women

With all of these findings, researchers point out that further investigation is needed, but it is projected that the incidence of many of these diseases could be reduced by 20 to 50 percent or more, if the occurrence of vitamin deficiency and insufficiency were eradicated by increasing vitamin D intakes.

Answer 2

Vitamin D insufficiency results in rickets (defective bone growth) in children and osteomalacia (soft bones) and osteoporosis (porous bones) in adults. These skeletal diseases are the result of inadequate bone mineralization or demineralization of the skeleton. Vitamin D-deficient diets are often found in those who have milk Allergies, lactose intolerance or in those following a vegan diet (devoid of animal products, including milk and eggs).

Some groups may require supplemental vitamin D, particularly if they are not receiving exposure to sunlight. These include:

Infants exclusively breast-fed: Human milk contains very little vitamin D. Many infants-especially those who live in far northern latitudes-may not be exposed to sufficient sunlight.

Older adults: Older adults are more prone to vitamin D deficiency, especially those living in northern industrialized cities of the world. This is due to lack of sunlight combined with a decreased ability to synthesize vitamin D in the skin.

Dark skin and sunscreen: People with dark skin or those using topical sunscreen are at increased risk of deficiency due to a reduction in the body's ability to produce vitamin D in the skin

Answer 3

Hypovitaminosis 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.

Answer 4

There is a link between lack a of vitamin D and Breast cancer, colon cancer, high blood pressure, Rickets, and lowers the overall immune system.

Answer 5

Symptoms of a lack of vitamin D include fatigue, bone and joint pain, muscle aches and twitching. It will eventually lead to rickets and osteomalacia.

Answer 6

You would get a disease called MS, or also known as Multiple Sclerosis.
