Symptoms : Symptoms of bone pain and muscle weakness can mean you have a vitamin d deficiency. But even without symptoms, too little vitamin d can pose health risks. Low blood levels of the vitamin have been associated with the following: - increased risk of death from cardiovascular disease - cognitive impairment in older adults - severe asthma in children - cancer.
