Vitamin D — a hormone more than a vitamin What it does • Helps absorb calcium • Keeps bones, teeth, muscles strong • Supports immunity and growth When Vitamin D gets low Newborns • Excessive head sweating • Poor feeding, irritability • Low calcium → seizures (severe cases) Infants & children • Delayed sitting / walking • Leg pains, muscle weakness • Frequent infections • Rickets: bowed legs, wrist widening, delayed teething Adolescents • Back and knee pain • Poor stamina, stress fractures • Low immunity Adults • Body aches, back pain • Fatigue, low mood • Muscle weakness • Bone thinning → fractures (long term) Why deficiency is common • Less sun exposure • Exclusive breastfeeding without supplements • Indoor lifestyle • Poor diet Prevention (simple) • Sunlight 20–30 min, 3–4×/week • Supplements: • Infants: 400 IU/day • Children: 600–1000 IU/day • Adults: 800–2000 IU/day Key point: Calcium won’t work without Vitamin D, and deficiency can exist even when calcium levels look normal.
