Vitamin D Deficiency Symptoms

Vitamin D is the vitamin that the skin produces when it is exposed to ultraviolet rays from the sun. Vitamin D actually functions as a steroid hormone that can influence gene expression in human cells. I have written quite a few posts about Vitamin D before, here I will go in to more detail on Vitamin D Deficiency Symptoms.

I would like to divide Vitamin D deficiency symptoms into two categories: short-term symptoms and long-term symptoms. Short term symptoms would be something that you might experience right now, while long term symptoms would be something you might not experience until in old age.
