Vitamin D deficiency can cause serious conditions, especially if the deficiency has been present for a long period of time. \u003cstrong\u003eThe Quicktest Vitamin D Self-Test is used to detect the level of 5-OH-vitamin D in the blood. The test shows positive for vitamin D deficiency if your vitamin D levels are below 30 ng\/ml.\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCause of vitamin D deficiency\u003c\/h2\u003e\nDuring the winter months when the sun is low in our northern latitudes, our bodies cannot produce vitamin D themselves using sunlight. This puts us at greater risk of developing a vitamin D deficiency. You can also develop a vitamin D deficiency if you have a disease that makes it difficult for your intestines to absorb nutrients, or if you eat a very limited diet. Vegans and other people who do not eat fish or fortified foods are at risk of developing a vitamin D deficiency if they do not take supplements.\n\u003ch2\u003eSymptoms of vitamin D deficiency\u003c\/h2\u003e\nVitamin D deficiency in adults is a condition that develops over a long period of time. \u003cstrong\u003eSymptoms of vitamin D deficiency are often diffuse and can include general fatigue, depression, lack of energy, muscle weakness\/muscle cramps, digestive problems and headaches.\u003c\/strong\u003e Vitamin D deficiency can cause serious conditions, especially if the deficiency has occurred over a longer period of time. If there is too little vitamin D, the absorption of calcium in the body is inhibited, which in turn affects the bone tissue. \u003cstrong\u003eSevere vitamin D deficiency can cause symptoms in the form of softer or more fragile bones, known as osteoporosis.\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eChildren are particularly vulnerable to vitamin D deficiency as their bones need vitamin D to develop properly.\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\nLow levels of vitamin D can lead to premature birth, increased risk of preeclampsia and lower birth weight, among other things.\n\n \n\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication information\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\nFact-checked 2024-11-11 by\n\u003cem\u003eLeg Doctor \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.quicktest.se\/om-oss\/\"\u003eFredrik Lönnqvist \u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eLeg Nurse\u003c\/em\u003e","brand":"Quicktest Sverige","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57375007342976,"sku":"DVI907","price":149.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0976\/9199\/2448\/files\/quicktest_d-vitamin-1.jpg?v=1770665946"},{"product_id":"wellness-check-1-pack","title":"Wellness Check 1-pack","description":"Wellness Check is a simple self-test that uses urine to analyze 9 health markers in just 90 seconds – and as a bonus, you get personalized lifestyle advice right away.
