Vitamin D is important for good health, growth and strong bones. A lack of vitamin D is very common. Vitamin D is mostly made in the skin by exposure to sunlight. Most foods contain very little vitamin D naturally, though some are fortified (enriched) with added vitamin D. A mild lack of vitamin D may not cause symptoms but can cause general aches and pains. A more severe lack can cause serious problems such as rickets (in children) and osteomalacia (in adults), described below. Treatment is with vitamin D supplements. Some people are more at risk of vitamin D deficiency, and so are recommended to take vitamin D supplements routinely. These include all pregnant women, breast-fed babies, children under 5, and people aged 65 and over. Also, people who do not get much exposure to the sun, people with black or Asian skin types, and people with certain gut, liver or kidney diseases.

The treatment is to take vitamin D supplements. This is a form of vitamin D called ergocalciferol or calciferol. Vitamin D can be given as an injection or as a medicine (liquid or tablets). Your doctor will discuss the dose, and best treatment ...
... schedule, depending on your situation, age, severity of the deficiency, etc. Briefly, one of the following may be advised
Injection

A single small injection of vitamin D will last for about six months. This is a very effective and convenient treatment. It is useful for people who do not like taking medicines by mouth, or who are likely to forget to take their tablets.
High-dose tablets or liquids

There are different strengths available and a dose may be taken either daily, weekly or monthly. This will depend on your situation and on which particular treatment guideline your doctor is using. Always check with your doctor that you understand the instructions - with high doses of vitamin D it is important to take the medicine correctly. The advantage of the higher-dose treatment is that the deficiency improves quickly - important in growing children.
Standard-dose tablets, powders or liquids

These need to be taken every day for about 12 months in order that the body can catch up on the missing vitamin D. This is a rather slow method of replacing vitamin D, but is suitable if the deficiency is mild, or for prevention. A disadvantage is that all these preparations contain either calcium or other vitamins, giving them a strong taste which some people dislike.
Maintenance therapy after deficiency has been treated

After vitamin D deficiency has been treated, the body's stores of vitamin D have been replenished. After this, maintenance treatment is often needed long-term, to prevent further deficiency in the future. This is because it is unlikely that any risk factor for vitamin D deficiency in the first place, will have completely resolved. The dose needed for maintenance may be lower than that needed to treat the deficiency.

Various groups of people (detailed earlier) are prone to develop vitamin D deficiency. Therefore, in summary, the following groups of people are advised to take vitamin D supplements routinely.

* All pregnant and breast-feeding women.
* Breast-fed babies. (Bottle-fed babies do not need vitamin D supplements as formula milk is fortified with vitamin D.)
* Young children up to the age of five years.
* All older people aged 65 and over.
* People whose skin is not exposed to much sun. For example, people who cover their skin for cultural reasons, people who are housebound, etc.
* People who have darker skin. (For a given amount of sun exposure, people with darker skin produce less vitamin D than people with lighter skin.)

A doctor may also advise routine vitamin D supplements for people with certain gut, kidney or liver diseases, and people prescribed certain medicines.

Vitamin D is increasingly being linked to other diseases and illnesses. In recent years there have been associations with conditions such as cancer, heart disease, infectious disorders, autoimmune disease and diabetes. This does not mean that all people with vitamin D deficiency will get these problems. Nor does it mean that if you have one of these illnesses, a vitamin D deficiency is the cause. In these cases, vitamin D is thought to be just one factor.
