Science Daily - Psychiatry NEWS Vitamin D deficiency raises risk of schizophrenia diagnosis Vitamin D-deficient individuals are twice as likely to be diagnosed with schizophrenia as people who have sufficient levels of the vitamin, according to a new study. Vitamin D helps the body absorb calcium and is needed for bone and muscle health. The skin naturally produces this vitamin after exposure to sunlight. People also obtain smaller amounts of the vitamin through foods, such as milk fortified with vitamin D. More than 1 billion people worldwide are estimated to have deficient levels of vitamin D due to limited sunshine exposure. feeds.sciencedaily/~r/sciencedaily/mind_brain/psychiatry/~3/189s3EMtDjM/140722142513.htm
