Tag: Dangerously low vitamin d

According to a 2011–2014 NHANES analysis, 5% of the US population was at risk of vitamin D deficiency (levels below 12 ng/mL). Determining what level of vitamin D is dangerously low is a critical step in managing health and preventing serious bone and metabolic disorders associated with severe deficiency.

Globally, an estimated 1 billion people have vitamin D deficiency, a widespread issue that makes understanding the critical thresholds of this nutrient vital. While low levels are common, a dangerously low vitamin D level can have severe and lasting consequences for your health, particularly your bones and muscles.
