Vitamin D deficiency symptoms

Vitamin D deficiency symptoms eyes

A deficiency in vitamin D can affect the eyes and cause dry eyes and other vision problems. Low vitamin D levels can lead to inflammation in the eyes and cause blurry vision. In addition, a lack of vitamin D can increase the risk of cataracts and macular degeneration.

Exploring the sunshine vitamin

From Dutch research shows that people with depression and anxiety have lower concentrations of vitamin D in the blood.

 

In addition, it turned out that in current depressed people the severity of the symptoms was related to the concentration of vitamin D in the blood: the more severe the symptoms, the greater the vitamin D deficiency.

 

Vitamin D is mainly produced in the skin under the influence of sunlight, so you can call it the sunshine vitamin.

Vitamin D deficiency anxiety

Recent research suggests that vitamin D may also help reduce fear and anxiety.

Studies have shown that people with higher vitamin D levels are less likely to experience fear and anxiety and that taking a vitamin D supplement can reduce fear and anxiety in people with low vitamin D levels.

In addition, vitamin D has been linked to increased production of serotonin, a neurotransmitter that helps regulate mood and can lead to better emotional well-being. 

Are you taking vitamin D and still have anxiety?

Then there may be something else going on, such as past trauma, liver or intestinal complaints may play a role.

Supplement vitamin D deficiency. Nutrition for Vitamin D

Since that vitamin D is often too low, there are easy ways to increase the vitamin D level.

  • Diet adjustment
  • The use of supplements
  • More exposure to sunlight: at least 20 min in summer, without wearing sunscreen
  • Foods of animal origin in small amounts contain this vitamin:

  •   Fatty fish (eel, salmon, mackerel) – the most
  •   Fat: butter, coconut oil, vegetable oils
  •   Soft boiled eggs also beneficial for healthy cholesterol

Who Needs Vitamin D Supplementation and How Much?

  • In the winter period, extra vitamin D is necessary for almost everyone, especially for children, pregnant and the elderly.
  • People with darker skin tones need a higher dose of vitamin D.
  • The recommended amount of supplementation is still a point of discussion. But 1000 IU per day (25mcg) is a safe and minimal dosage needed to keep calcidiol (major metabolite of vitamin D) levels at optimal levels. 
  • People with dark skin and people with autoimmune diseases can easily take 100 mcg.

Vitamin D from the sun How does our body get vitamin D from the sun?

  • If you sit in the sun, without sunscreen, for about 10 minutes, you are probably absorbing about 10,000 units of natural vitamin D.
  • However, keep in mind that this amount varies from person to person, depending on skin color. 

  • Melanin is a substance that affects skin color. The more melanin in your body, the darker the skin tone will be.
  • Melanin is released when we are exposed to the ultraviolet rays of the sun. The more sun rays we receive, the more melanin is released in our skin.

  • Melanin reduces the skin's ability to make vitamin D in response to exposure to sunlight. Studies show that darker-skinned adults have a high risk of vitamin D deficiency.

Metabolism of vitamin D | Where is vitamin D produced?

  • The liver and kidneys convert vitamin D (produced in the skin and absorbed in the diet) into its active form, called calcitriol. 
  • The active vitamin D helps to increase the amount of calcium that the gut can absorb from the eaten food into the bloodstream. Vitamin D also prevents calcium loss from the kidneys. Vitamin D modifies the activity of bone cells and is important for the formation of new bone in children and adults.  
  • Vitamin D is produced up to 90% in the skin in response to sunlight. It is also absorbed from foods eaten (approximately 10%) as part of a healthy, balanced diet containing healthy fats.

CONCLUSION: 

To absorb and produce vitamin D, your liver and kidneys must function properly!
