Please tell me what will happen if i don't get any vitamin d due to diet/no sunlight?

Vitamin D: Being low on vitamin D is an independent risk factor for major depression. Vitamin D is an important hormone for bone metabolism, so being low increases your risk for osteoporosis. Vitamin D is also important for the functioning of your immune system and being low is a risk factor for several cancers. It is critical in the operation of many genes.
