Vitamin D Deficiency | Absorption & Metabolism, Purpose of Vitamin D, Causes of Deficiency

Vitamin D Deficiency is a very common worldwide condition, involving inadequate levels of vitamin D. Vitamin D refers to a number of fat soluble vitamins that are garnered from dietary sources or through endogenous synthesis. Vitamin D is absorbed in the gastrointestinal system and is also synthesized in the skin from cholesterol precursors. In this lesson, we discuss these topics in more detail, including why we need vitamin D (ex. calcium homeostasis), and a variety of causes of vitamin D deficiency.

This lesson is part 1 in a series on Vitamin D deficiency. In the next lesson, we discuss the signs and symptoms of vitamin D deficiency, along with methods of diagnosing and ways of treating Vitamin D deficiency.

Vitamin D For Women – do you have signs of Vitamin D deficiency?

Vitamin D Deficiency Symptoms and Sources to Reverse it: http://bit.ly/2CR4Fhc

In this video, I’m going to talk about the benefits of vitamin D as well as symptoms of vitamin D deficiency. In certain studies, Americans have been found to be the #1 population in vitamin D deficiency.

Some of the main symptoms of vitamin D deficiency are a weakened immune system, candida or bacterial overgrowth, emotional ups and downs, hormone imbalance, trouble putting on muscle or losing weight, weakened bones or teeth, cancer, heart disease, or diabetes. Vitamin D supports having a healthy immune response, digestive health, hormone balance, and more.

The biggest causes of vitamin D deficiency are not getting enough sunlight, certain chemicals from plastic bottles (BPA), and toxicity. Try to get outside every day for about 20-30 minutes of natural sunlight.

Certain foods that are sources of vitamin D are wild caught fish, raw fermented milk, mushrooms, and eggs. However, there are small amounts in the food you eat.

For a good supplement, I would recommend a high-quality vitamin D supplement. You don’t want to take vitamin D2, but you do want to take vitamin D3. For supplementation, take about 2000-5000 IUs a day. However, if you have a severe deficiency, then for 1-2 months, you may take 5000 IUs twice daily. Lastly, you want to take your vitamin D3 with some form of fat like coconut oil or avocado to help absorption in your body.

Three- year- old Malia is playful, perky and full of personality- big traits that once overshadowed her. Shortly after she was born, Malia stopped growing.

“She started off in the growth chart and she slowly just slid off. Probably around six months she completely fell off the growth chart,” says Kourtney Dobbs, Malia’s mother.

Specialists with Golisano Children’s Hospital ran a series of tests and found Malia has congenital hypopituitarism, meaning her pituitary gland doesn’t work properly.

“The pituitary gland sits right in the middle of the brain and it’s responsible for many, many hormones. One of the main hormones it produces is the growth hormone or GH,” says Dr. Cayce Jehaimi, pediatric endocrinologist with Golisano Children’s Hospital of Southwest Florida.

“She was so far behind, I thought it was hard to believe she would even catch up with other kids,” says Dobbs.

Tens of thousands of children are stymied by various growth hormone deficiencies. Typically treatment involves daily injections of synthetic HGH. The same hormone sometimes abused by athletes can be a game-changer in children who need it.

“There are many causes of growth hormone deficiency, the most common just means they have one growth hormone missing from their pituitary gland and those often times need growth hormone only during the growth phase, after which we stop,” says Dr. Jehaimi.

Hypopituitarism is far less common. Malia needs long-term thyroid replacement therapy and HGH injections. But she is growing up despite her hormone deficiency.

“I don’t feel like if we go out in a group of kids her age that she’s the only one behind,” says Dobbs.

Today she’s a petite girl who’s grown into her super-sized personality.

“The best example is children who have growth hormone deficiency, they end up on growth hormone and they do very well. Their self-esteem improves, their muscle mass improves, their strength improves. It’s just a very beautiful story,” says Dr. Jehaimi.
