Why Vitamin D & Magnesium Should Be Taken Together

Vitamin D Deficiency

Statistics indicate between forty and fifty percent of healthy individuals don’t meet their vitamin D requirements. Some of the symptoms of vitamin D deficiency include bone pain, muscle weakness, asthma in children, cognitive impairment, and an increased risk of cardiovascular disease.

The causes of vitamin D deficiency vary and include not having enough exposure to sunlight, not consuming enough vitamin D (which is likely on a vegan diet), having darker skin, kidneys unable to convert vitamin D to its active form, a digestive tract that cannot absorb vitamin D properly, and obesity. The only treatment is to get more vitamin D from diet and supplements.
