4 Causes of Hyperparathyroidism
Vitamin D Deficiency
Vitamin D is an essential component for the absorption of calcium from foods. When you don’t get sufficient amounts of this substance from sunlight or supplements, it would lead to a lower level of calcium. As a result, the body will respond by generating extra parathyroid hormone to compensate for this loss. When the amount is more than needed, it leads to hyperparathyroidism. That’s why if you don’t expose yourself to sunshine in a long time, you would suffer from some problems with your bone health or muscle. Make sure to consult your doctor to get the right advice for taking in sufficient vitamin D. [9]
