Slow Wound Healing
When your levels of vitamin D in the body are too low, it might affect the process of healing your wounds. This is especially true after an injury, surgery, infection. This is simply because vitamin D encourages the production of substances that are important for generating new skin, which plays an essential role in your wound-healing process. In addition, this substance can control inflammation and fight against infection to help with healing. A vitamin D deficiency thus would lead to a higher level of inflammatory markers and jeopardize this process. [8]
