Vitamin D deficiency is very common in the United States and often goes unrecognized by primary care physicians. This oversight is unfortunate, because vitamin D plays an important role in bone development and muscle function. It also facilitates absorption of calcium and phosphate from the gut and kidney, suppresses parathyroid hormone (PTH), and acts
