Lack of D Causes Weight Gain & Stunts Growth

Researchers tested 100 young women, ages 16 to 22, to see if a lack of vitamin D was associated with poor bone mineral density.  What they found surprised them.

Fifty-nine percent of the young women lacked vitamin D.  Those lacking vitamin D had significantly more body fat.

Rather than finding poor bone mineral density, they found reduced bone growth.  In other words, the lack of vitamin D prevented young women from reaching their genetic potential in terms of height. 

Here is a message that may get the attention of young women:  If you would like to be shorter and fatter then don’t get enough vitamin D.  2000 IU of vitamin D per day are needed by just about everyone in the winter months.
