Abstract

Vitamin D is crucial for maintaining optimal health. This review study evaluates health problems related to deficiency and ways to maintain sufficient levels. We conducted a review of the association between vitamin D inadequacy and various diseases, explored the various sources of vitamin D and the risk factors associated with vitamin D insufficiency, examined the consequences of insufficient vitamin D levels, and assessed the potential benefits of taking vitamin D supplements for promoting good health. A literature review demonstrated that maintaining sufficient levels of vitamin D is essential for improving health and preventing various diseases. Vitamin D deficiency is a common condition, and it can be addressed by consuming a balanced diet, getting regular exposure to sunlight, or taking supplements as necessary.
