Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.

Roughly one billion people worldwide are deficient in vitamin D, according to Bezmialem Vakıf University endocrinology and metabolism specialist Prof. Dr. Ertuğrul Taşan, who flagged fatigue, weakness and chronic exhaustion as commonly overlooked signs of the shortfall. Taşan said low levels of the vitamin undermine daily quality of life and highlighted its critical roles in both immune function and energy metabolism. The deficiency is frequently missed because its symptoms are nonspecific and easily attributed to other causes. The comments point to a substantial global health burden that is often undiagnosed.
