- It plays a role in bone health.
- It may help to prevent some diseases, such as diabetes and multiple sclerosis.
- It plays a role in muscle function, including heart function.
If vitamin D deficiency is severe, it can cause a condition in which your bones become soft. In adults, this condition is called osteomalacia. In children, this condition is called rickets.
