An increasing number of observational studies indicate that there may be a relationship between cancer, heart disease, diabetes, autoimmune diseases, multiple sclerosis, infection, osteoporosis and vitamin D deficiency. The fact that people start working in closed office environments, avoiding the sun, and the frequent use of accessories such as glasses and hats to reduce contact with the sun can lead to vitamin D deficiency even in those living in summer resorts.
Unfortunately, there is no large-scale study on the frequency of vitamin D deficiency in our country, but vitamin D deficiencies/deficiencies have been detected at an increasing rate. Unfortunately, vitamin D deficiency does not come to mind because it usually causes non-specific symptoms.
If you have widespread body pain, muscle-bone pain, if you have a weak immune system, if you have trouble losing weight, you may have a vitamin D deficiency. The diagnosis of vitamin D deficiency can be made by measuring 25-OH vitamin D in the blood.
Treatment can be done with the use of ampoules, capsules and drops containing vitamin D.
