Increased sensitivity to pain is another potential sign of vitamin D deficiency. Vitamin D is involved in pain modulation, and low levels of this essential nutrient may result in heightened pain sensitivity.
Individuals with low vitamin D levels may experience increased sensitivity to both acute and chronic pain. They may find that even minor injuries or discomfort cause significant pain, impacting their quality of life.
Research has shown that supplementing with vitamin D can help reduce pain sensitivity in those with low levels. Ensuring adequate vitamin D intake through sunlight exposure, diet, and supplements can help support pain modulation and overall well-being. (11)
