Generalised pain linked to low vitamin D levels in women

Dr. John Briffa writes in his e-newsletter:

In a past blog I wrote about how some individuals (usually women) present in practice with generalised pain in their bodies. Since getting interested in nutritional medicine, I discovered that the key underlying problem in many of these individuals was a deficiency of vitamin D. In practice, I have found that boosting vitamin D levels in these individuals often gives satisfying relief from chronic, generalised pain. I was therefore interested to read this week about a study which found that women suffering from generalised pain were at enhanced risk of vitamin D deficiency. For more on this study, as well as the sort of vitamin D levels that appear to be necessary to keep women pain-free, click this link
