There are Many
Causes of Vitamin D Deficiency
Are You at Risk?

So, What are the Causes of Vitamin D Deficiency?

I encourage everyone to get their Vitamin D Level checked because up to 85% of the population has a Low Vitamin D Level, and most people are Absolutely Shocked at HOW LOW their vitamin d level actually is. Then the next question from them is,

"Why Do I have Vitamin D Deficiency!"

Everyone wants to know What Causes Vitamin D Deficiency. They believe that they 'shouldn't' have Vitamin D Deficiency and so they think that something must be 'wrong' with them. But the vast majority of the time, there is nothing 'wrong' with you, but that you are simply not getting enough vitamin D to meet your needs.

The most common reasons that most people don't meet their

Vitamin D Requirements are below.

Causes of Vitamin D Deficiency

1. Not getting enough in the diet

2. Not getting enough from the sun

3. Not taking Vitamin D supplements, or not taking enough in supplements

However, there ARE other factors that can Contribute to Vitamin D Deficiencies, that are not serious and are easy to overcome by taking higher doses of Vitamin D Supplements Some of these other Causes of Vitamin D Deficiency are:

Taking certain medications

Magnesium Deficiency - magnesium is required to convert Vitamin D into its active form

Older Age- the skin is less able to convert sunlight into vitamin d

Being very large or obese- you simply require more vitamin d the larger you are

Having Low Cholesterol Levels- cholesterol is required to convert sunlight to vitamin d in the skin

Eating a very low fat diet- vitamin d is fat soluble and you MUST have fat to absorb it

Having very dark skin- blocks the UV rays from reaching the cells that make vitamin d in the skin

Anyone with any of these issues should have their Vitamin D Levels Tested NOW and at least once a year- even if you THINK that you Should have normal vitamin D levels, get 'plenty' of sun or take Vitamin D Supplements already!!

Fat MalabsorptionThe inability to absorb fat is one of the more common, but serious vitamin D deficiency causes. More people actually have this condition then have been diagnosed and, if you have any health conditions- especially those that involve digestion- you may have difficulty with Vitamin D Absorption.

The conditions that might make you suspect this are:

Irritable Bowel Syndrome

Crohn's Disease

Celiac Disease or Gluten Sensitivity

ANY OTHER vitamin deficiencies- particularly Vitamin B12 Deficiency or anemia!

Visible fat in your stools (steatorrhea)

Treatment of the Vitamin D Deficiency that you almost certainly have!

Your Liver is Too Toxic

Your liver makes enzymes to convert vitamin D into its active form, and if you take too many toxins IN and aren't able to effectively get rid of them, then you won't be able to CONVERT vitamin d into its usable form in the body. You may TAKE lots of vitamin d and ABSORB plenty of it, but you won't be able to USE it!!

People that have this problem will often have multiple chemical sensitivities or have several health problems. The immediate treatment of the vitamin D deficiency is to get more Vitamin D- but you REALLY need to get rid of the Environmental Toxins that are overwhelming your liver.

The New Start Perfect Cleanse is a great way to begin to address the problem of liver toxicity, and you just might FEEL a whole lot better too!

The Most Serious Causes of Vitamin D Deficiency

Your doctor should ALWAYS make sure that you do not have parathyroid gland dysfunction if you have a low vitamin D level. Getting a calcium level and a parathyroid hormone level will easily rule out this problem. You can go to Parathyroid.com and read about their extensive discussion of Vitamin D and the Parathyroid Glands. If you believe that you might have parathyroid disease, then be sure that you do NOT take vitamin d!! Having parathyroid disease is one of the rare Vitamin D Contraindications, meaning that you should absolutely NOT take vitamin d unless you are specifically given the OK to do so by your endocrinologist.

These are the Causes of Vitamin D Deficiency

So these are ALL of the Causes of Vitamin D Deficiency, however the most common cause is still simply that we don't get sunlight onto our skins and don't take enough supplements.

Today, the health care system tells us that the sun is going to give us skin cancer- and they have VERY effectively been able to get the vast majority of us out of the sun and into long sleeved shirts and sunscreen- with severe vitamin D deficiencies in most of us as a result.

But even those of us who DO get 'Plenty' of sunshine can have it effectively not absorbed because of all of the Vitamin D Deficiency Causes that have been mentioned above. As the people in This Study showed us, even living in Hawaii and getting approximately 12 hours of sunlight exposure per week, doesn't guarantee that you will get enough Vitamin D to meet your needs.

So, please Check Your Vitamin D Level because symptoms of Vitamin D deficiency are often SO SUBTLE that they are nonexistent!

But if Symptoms of Vitamin D deficiency are nonexistent, how do you know that you HAVE Vitamin D deficiency -and why should you care?
