The Vitamin D Epidemic and It’s Health Consequences.

Posted on March 16, 2006 by Dr. Gary Pack

Without sun exposure, 1000 IU daily of cholecalciferol (vitamin D) is required for both children and adults. A deficiency of vitamin D in children causes poor mineralization of the collagen matrix, leading to rickets. In adults, secondary hyperparathyroidism can result from a deficiency of vitamin D. This causes the loss of bone structure and mineralization […]
