Every other osteoporosis patient is undersupplied with vitamin D.
Regardless of age and no matter whether they live in little sun or sun-rich areas: About 50 percent of all patients with osteoporosis have too little vitamin D.

The vitamin, which can form the body by using sunlight itself has central importance for bone metabolism. Only if adequate vitamin D is present (the daily requirement varies from two to ten micrograms) of calcium can be optimally absorbed by the intestines and then incorporated into the bone. Unlike other vitamins, vitamin D can be found only in some foods, such as in fish, butter, egg yolks and mushrooms.
