What is Understanding Vitamin D: Deficiency & Effects about?

Vitamin D is a steroid compound that is converted into its active form through two hydroxylation steps, first in the liver and then in the kidney. Deficiency can result in rickets or osteomalacia due to impaired bone mineralization. Too much vitamin D can also be problematic, causing issues like hypercalcemia.
