Potential Causes of Vitamin D Deficiency:

  • Not Enough Sun: People who don’t spend very much time in the sun or are who have most of their skin covered while outdoors could potentially suffer from Vitamin D deficiencies as your body produces Vitamin D when skin is exposed to the sun.
  • You have a BMI of 30 or more.Vitamin D is extracted from the bloodby fat cells, altering its release into the circulation. People with a body mass index of 30 or greater often have low blood levels of vitamin D.
  • As age, your kidneysmay become less efficient and cannot convert vitamin D to its active form. As people age, their kidneys are less able to convert vitamin D to its active form, thus increasing their risk of vitamin D deficiency.
