This is the vitamin your body is missing when your legs and bones hurt.

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.
