A member asked:

If u have vitamin d deficiency, does this have any effect on immunoglobulin levels (igg, igm...etc.)? would low vitamin d cause lower igg or igm?

No: but since vitamin D3 is considered an immune regulator, a deficiency in vit D3 may reduce your defense outside of the antibody aspect.
