I have severely low levels of vitamin d. what is the problem?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Common problem: Low vitamin d levels are much more common now than in years past. This is likely due to less sun exposure and low vit d intake. However it is also possible that you are malabsorbing vit d, such as from chronic diarrhea or other GI disorders. You should take supplements and have it rechecked. It is important for bone health.
