There's some pretty weird symptoms associated with a vitamin D deficiency that I'd like to share with you,

0:04.8

but maybe I should have used a better word than weird symptoms.

0:08.4

These are symptoms that you wouldn't think are associated with a vitamin D deficiency,

0:12.8

and there's research behind each one. I'm going to put all that information down below.

0:16.9

As you probably already know, vitamin D is so important, and I think most people do know it's

0:22.1

associated with bone loss, bone pain, low immune system, depression, high blood pressure,

0:29.4

more inflammation if you're deficient, asthma, especially in children, as well as poor sleep.

0:35.9

But there are 23 additional symptoms that you probably had no idea were connected to a vitamin

0:43.3

1:26.0

causing some type of obstruction so the oil can't get out of this gland, could also easily stem from

1:32.3

a vitamin D deficiency. Number four, bipolar. There's been quite a few studies related to someone

1:37.8

having bipolar, and nearly, they're always deficient in vitamin D. And we know how important

1:43.5

vitamin D is in mood disorders, especially depression, and other mood disorders, including bipolar.

1:50.8

At number five is a skipped heart beat, okay, because of the direct connection with a vitamin D

1:57.2

deficiency and what it can do to the heart, but it can definitely affect the pacemaker of the heart.
