Vitamin D Deficiencies : Treatment and Management

Abstract

Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin applied by the body particularly for normal bone development and maintenance by enhancing bone development, the absorption of calcium, magnesium, and phosphate. A circulating level of 25-hydroxyvitamin D greater than 30 ng/mL is needed to maintain a healthy level of vitamin D. A lack of vitamin D can cause a number of issues, the most common being rickets in children and osteoporosis in adults. The fortification of milk with vitamin D in the 1930s was shown to be effective especially in eradicating rickets in the world. Vitamin D deficiency is more common than ever, for whatever reason, and high-risk people need to be evaluated. There is currently evidence linking vitamin D insufficiency to depression, autoimmune illnesses, cancer, heart disease, and diabetes, despite the results of numerous contradicting research. This task examines how vitamin D deficiency is diagnosed, treated, and managed. It also explains how the interprofessional team may help individuals with this illness receive better care.
