Vitamin D Deficiency
As much as 80% of the population in the United States is estimated to have low vitamin D levels. Emerging studies show that low vitamin D is associated with an increase cause of death from ALL causes1. Low vitamin D is also associated with autoimmune diseases and overall immune health.
Recommended add-on test: 1,25 Vitamin D (active form)
Vitamin D Deficiency Causes
In a society that has almost every vitamin D type food avaliable and abundant sunshine, many are left wondering, “Why are my vitamin D levels low”? The 7 most common causes for low vitamin D levels are:

- Type 1 Diabetes
- Cardiovascular Disease
- Increased blood pressure
- Certain cancers
Vitamin D and Breast Cancer
Studies show a close correlation between optimal vitamin D and breast cancer. Many of these studies show that optimal vitamin D levels are associated with 50% decrease in breast cancer risk2.
