      Hello, I am 33 years old male. My vitamin D level in my body is 25 ng/mL. I am currently on vitamin D supplements. several research lines suggest that vitamin D has beneficial effects in liver diseases by activating and regulating innate and adaptive immunity. Should I be worried if I am vitamin D deficient? Can vitamin D deficiency affect the liver?

        @darby Hello sir, Yes Vitamin D deficiency is extremely common in people. It not only affects the liver but vitamin D plays a vital role in calcium absorption, and deficiency can lead to decreased calcium absorption, which can cause bone diseases such as rickets or osteomalacia. Vitamin D deficiency (or vitamin D insufficiency) is extremely common and causes muscle weakness, and adequate levels are required for optimal function and strength of the muscle. Some liver diseases can be associated with osteoporosis and vitamin D deficiency. You shouldn’t but take vitamin D supplements and include food rich in vitamin D. Thanks!
