Vitamin D has been getting a lot of press lately with stories linking low levels to bone loss and increased risk of breast cancer. This article covers the use of Vitamin D for chronic musculoskeletal pain including muscle, bone and joint.

This blog makes an interesting argument that some of the studies showing lower Vit. D linked to increased mortality in osteoporosis and autoimmune disease are showing an effect of infection and Vit. D receptor disregulation rather than simple deficiency.
Many people with low 25D have high 1,25D which is a product of 25D
That argues against deficiency in some cases.
