Vitamin D Deficiency

Vitamin D is less a vitamin than a potent prohormone. It plays a critical role in almost every area of human physiology, from the regulation of calcium and phosphate metabolism and the support of the immune system to bone mineralisation and muscle function. A large part of the body's vitamin D is synthesised when sunlight reaches the skin, and the rest comes from food.

Because of modern living conditions, long periods spent indoors, sunscreen use and geographical factors, vitamin D deficiency is common in the general population. At eKonsey, our Multidisciplinary Council of experienced physicians in endocrinology, metabolic diseases and nutritional medicine takes a holistic approach to resistant vitamin D deficiency, malabsorption and its hormonal consequences.

Advantages of the eKonsey Multidisciplinary Approach

• Comprehensive Laboratory Analysis: Vitamin D levels need to be interpreted together with calcium, phosphate, PTH and ALP.
• Resolving Resistant Cases: In cases that do not respond to standard treatment, the underlying malabsorption or metabolic block is identified.
• Reliable Second Opinion: Your test results are reviewed by expert professors wherever you live, and a Medical Opinion is prepared for you.
