A study by ICMR-NIN, Hyderabad, links vitamin D deficiency with increased oxidative stress in heart cells, but experts caution against direct conclusions for humans.

Vitamin D helps keep bones and muscles healthy and supports calcium absorption. Experts say deficiency may cause fatigue, muscle weakness, bone pain, osteomalacia or rickets.

If a blood test report shows 25-hydroxy vitamin D below 20 ng/mL, experts say it should not be ignored and medical advice is needed.
