AB - Objective: Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin involved in calcium and phosphate absorption and various biological functions. It plays important roles in musculoskeletal maintenance, immune response regulation, and metabolic function modulation. Adequate intake is particularly important for pregnant women, older adults, and patients with thyroid, chronic kidney, or liver disease. Vitamin D can be obtained through dietary sources such as oily fish and sunlight exposure; however, deficiency has become increasingly common due to reduced sunlight exposure and dietary imbalance. As vitamin D deficiency may increase the risk of musculoskeletal and metabolic disorders, maintaining adequate vitamin D status is important.
Case Report: This case involves a woman in her 30s with persistent vitamin D insufficiency following thyroidectomy for thyroid cancer. As the patient was pregnant, correction of this deficiency was essential. Ortho-Cellular Nutrition Therapy (OCNT) was implemented, with naturally derived vitamins D, E, and K and omega fatty acids prescribed. Approximately four months after initiating OCNT, the patient's vitamin D level improved to within the reference range.
Conclusion: Although findings from this single-patient case cannot be generalized to all patients with vitamin D insufficiency, it is a noteworthy case suggesting that appropriate OCNT may contribute to improving vitamin D insufficiency and have positive effects on the patient.
