Abstract :
Vitamin D is known as a distinctive hormone made in the skin from exposure to sunshine. 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 can stimulate the absorption of intestinal calcium by 30%–40% and phosphorus by 80%. Moreover, it increases the absorption of minerals from the skeletal system. Vitamin D deficiency decreases the absorption of dietary calcium and phosphorus from the intestine and subsequently, leads to an increase in the levels of PTH. Here are some studies on the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in women.
