Non-Exposure to Sun ,the current lifestyle of working long hours in indoor artificial ventilation and misuse of sunscreens hamper the ability to create Vitamin -D . The Sunshine Vitamin- Vitamin D is produced by our skin in response to UV radiation from sunlight.A person deficient in vitamin D doesn't absorb enough calcium, even if the intake of calcium is high.Daily allowance is recommend taking around 5,000 IU but varies.
Previously it was known that not enough vitamin D caused  Rickets and Osteomalacia(Bone disease), but more recent discoveries suggest vitamin D deficiency as a major contributor in  heart disease, stroke, blood pressure,depression, chronic pain, osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, muscle weakness, muscle wasting, birth defects, periodontal disease, cancer and more.Vitamin D has also repeatedly shown great promise in fighting off colds and flu and outweighs the pre-mature ageing ,melonoma and skin cancer.
