When vitamin D is low in the body, this calcium absorption cannot happen. What happens to prevent calcium absorption? We have thyroid gland and parathyroid gland in our throat. When the
signal reaches the parathyroid gland, and then the production of parathyroid hormone is more.

Either it is called secondary hyperparathyroidism or hyperparathyroidism Due to hyperparathyroidism, calcium is released from our bones and it enters the blood and the bones become weak. This is called osteoporosis or osteosia. Then the bones become weak.

It needs to be treated to get it back into the blood properly and may require sunlight food supplementation and some medication nutritional supplementation.

Our body has more fat or fat cells, vitamin D is absorbed in those fat cells, resulting in it in the blood. A lot of obesity is reduced a very important fact is vitamin D deficiency in liver kidney problems because in liver problems there is a deficiency of an enzyme called 25 hydroxylase due to which vitamin D absorption is difficult and in kidney problems there is a deficiency of an enzyme called one alpha hydroxylase

There Is Also Weight Loss

called bariatric surgery or weight Loss surgery in which the stomach pouch is cut and
shortened and a bypass is made. the absorption of it, It is reduced from our intestines.

There are some lung problems, some autoimmune diseases or some other diseases in which steroids have to be taken for a long time. It is low, there are some other medicines like phenobarbitone, It is low in our body even if we take them.

Cholecalciferol is called hydroxycholecalciferol.

Ifit is low in the blood,  it can be seen that many it is low in the blood report. But their oral supplementation also works less well. Certain foods are high in it, such as eggs, meat, and fish. Some marine fish are also high in vitamin D, but low in it. If we see that its deficiency cannot be met with food, then we have to take some supplements in the form of medicine from outside.

Many people have been taking it for a long time without testing. There is a
possibility of toxicity. weakness, mood irritability, and blood pressure. Maybe these are his
problems.
