Deficiency of vitamin D is a global problem no less acute for the economically developed nations. The latest study reports are indicative of the importance of the relevant metabolites in human body for due functionality of the musculoskeletal system. The authors recommend three laboratory analyses including vitamin D (ОН) tests in blood, calcium content tests in daily urine; and the ionized calcium tests in blood, plus calculations of the calcium income with food – to control conditions of the calcium exchange and trace shortage of vitamin D at early stages of deficiency to make it possible to prevent and cure such conditions and maintain good athletic fitness, particularly in the sunshine-deficient autumn and spring time. Indiscreet administration of vitamin preparations and minerals is very risky and cannot be recommended.

Keywords: vitamin D, calcium, muscles, metabolism, depression.
