I stumbled upon this this morning

Doctors believed many decades ago that vitamin D was only good for healthy bones and teeth, but research has since proven otherwise. A deficiency in vitamin D has now been linked to numerous health problems including heart disease, depressionand even cancer.[1] In fact, a recent study conducted by Boston University researchers revealed vitamin D deficiency actually affects your DNA: “Any improvement in vitamin D status will significantly affect expression of genes that have a wide variety of biologic functions of more than 160 pathways linked to cancer, autoimmune disorders and cardiovascular disease.”

So, how can you tell if you are vitamin D deficient? First, you need to determine if you have one or more of the vitamin D deficiency symptoms, as these are commonly overlooked and often dismissed as normal, everyday aches and pains.

Vitamin D Deficiency Symptoms:
  1. Weight gain
  2. Bone softening (low bone density) or fractures
  3. Fatigue and generalized weakness
  4. Muscle cramps and weakness
  5. Joint pain (most noticeable in the back and knees)
  6. Blood sugar issues
  7. Low immunity
  8. Low calcium levels in the blood
  9. Mood changes and irritability
10. Depression is one of the major vitamin D deficiency symptoms!
The link between depression and vitamin D deficiency symptoms has long been established in both children and adults. Vitamin D is available in two different forms – D3 and D2. Research has shown that the connection between vitamin D and depression relief is linked to the D3 form – the same form of vitamin D that is obtained through sunlight. Scientists have found that people with the lowest levels of vitamin D were 11 times more prone to be depressed than those who had normal levels.[2] Vitamin D deficiency is actually more the norm than the exception, and has previously been implicated in both psychiatric and neurological disorders. Why? There are vitamin D receptors in the brain, and the vitamin may affect proteins in the brain known to play a role in mood, learning and memory, motor control, and possibly even maternal and social behavior.[3]

There may be more to your depression than low vitamin D levels. Other causes of depression include poor adrenal function (adrenal fatigue), neurotransmitter imbalance (serotonin, dopamine, etc.), sex hormone imbalance (estrogen, testosterone), environmental factors, or other nutrient deficiencies (magnesium, omega-3’s, etc.).
