now some of the symptoms from a  vitamin d deficiency are very similar  

to a calcium deficiency probably because you  can cause a calcium deficiency if you don’t  

have enough vitamin d so i want to go to the  list to see if you might need more calcium or  

vitamin d first of all when you  have low calcium you could have  

similar symptoms to having peripheral neuropathy  like like a diabetic would have numbness and  

tingling in the fingers and the toes muscle spasm  charlie horse you can have achy muscles very  

similar to a vitamin d deficiency because vitamin  d directs where calcium goes does it go into the  

muscle or not and so if you’re low in vitamin  d you’re going to have a lot of muscle aches  

but definitely in your lower back okay your  lower back is going to be very very weak  

achy painful you’re also going to have bone  pain it could be anywhere in your body also with  

vitamin d you’re going to have more inflammation  throughout the body but you’re not going to  

necessarily have that with low calcium now with  a calcium deficiency you can have confusion  

spasm in the throat you might have a hoarseness or  a chronic cough that is low calcium you can also  

be very very stiff you can also have tetane which  is kind of a quivering of the muscle you can also  

have these red spots like little bruising spots  throughout the body as well now with low vitamin d  

that can affect your mood you can feel sad  depressed anxiety with low vitamin d you can  

have high blood pressure also with low vitamin  d you might have a hard time going to sleep  

like you’re really tired but your head cannot go  to sleep that means you need calcium now with low  

vitamin d it’s going to affect your immune system  you’re going to be more susceptible to getting  

sick and another way to look at this is from your  diet are you avoiding all dairy we get a lot of  

calcium from dairy but you also can get calcium  from dark leafy green vegetables so if you’re not  

consuming any dairy let’s say you have an allergy  and if you don’t like vegetables right there  

you’re probably going to be low on calcium also  calcium is high in the fish trout it’s also high  

in clams and if you have high blood pressure  and you’re taking those calcium channel blockers  

that can actually create a calcium deficiency  as well so these are just little clues to kind  

of narrow in on what you might be deficient in  now i’ve done a lot more videos on vitamin d  

than calcium but the reason why most people are  deficient in vitamin d is they don’t get enough  

sun because it’s almost impossible to get  your vitamin d from from your diet you could  

potentially do it if you consume a lot of fatty  fish salmon things like that but rarely do people  

do that but it mainly relates to the sun if you’re  overweight if you’re older if your skin is darker  

you’re going to have more of a vitamin d  deficiency now another point i want to bring up  

calcium calcium is also influenced by magnesium  if you have too much or too little magnesium you  

can have a calcium deficiency so it’s not  just calcium in your diet okay it could be  

your low vitamin d so you have to look at all  these factors when you’re trying to identify  

um why you might have a certain symptom now  the last point i want to bring up is your ph  

if you’re too alkaline you’re not going to be  able to absorb calcium so you may have high  

levels of calcium but it’s unavailable to you as  well one last thing if you’re low on vitamin k2  

calcium can’t be transported out of the joints  it can’t be transported out of the blood but in  

this video i just wanted to differentiate this  calcium from vitamin d deficiencies hey before
