Vitamin D deficiency is a public health problem.

India gets surplus sun, yet a large percentage of Indians suffer from significant vitamin D deficiency. And this number is only growing – it’s a public health problem of epidemic proportions. What could be the possible reasons? Dietary insufficiency is an evident cause, and nutrition policymakers are looking into food fortification as a major intervention to combat this public health problem. However, scientists believe that a combination of factors is defining India’s vitamin D deficiency, including increased indoor time, pollution, consumption of ultra-processed foods, darker skin tone, etc. 

Vitamin D, aka the sunshine vitamin, is a crucial fat-soluble vitamin required for optimum growth, development, metabolic functions, immune system, bone health and mental health. Studies have demonstrated that vitamin D level has a major say in depression, mood swings, anxiety, and sleep quality. But we are getting less vitamin D than we should.
