It sounds like you’re referring to vitamin D.
Vitamin D plays a crucial role in bone and muscle health. A deficiency can lead to:
Bone pain or tenderness, often in the legs, hips, or lower back.
Muscle weakness or cramps.
Increased risk of fractures due to weaker bones.
Vitamin D helps your body absorb calcium and maintain strong bones. Low levels are common, especially in people who get little sunlight or have limited dietary intake.
How to Boost Vitamin D:
Sunlight: 10–30 minutes of sun on arms and legs several times a week.
Diet: Fatty fish (salmon, mackerel), fortified dairy or plant milk, egg yolks.
Supplements: Vitamin D3 capsules or drops, especially in winter or if deficient.
If leg or bone pain is persistent, it’s a good idea to get your vitamin D levels checked by a healthcare professional.
