"...the NHS in the UK, doesn't recognize Vit D deficiency as a problem."

The NHS does recognise vitamin D deficiency as an issue.

In the UK, a science advisory body (Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition) published a 300 page report of the evidence on vitamin D and health in 2016. Their conclusion: adults and children over one in the UK should have at least 10 micrograms of vitamin D every day. For some people this may mean taking a vitamin D supplement. People who have a higher risk of vitamin D deficiency are advised to take a supplement all year round.

Here is an overview of the guidelines on the NHS website which includes a link to the 300 page scientific review.

Yeah, these guidelines are on point not gonna deny that, but the doctors are actually far behind reading these. My hypogonadism wasn't diagnosed for years despite being in the guidelines. NHS docs just dont care, no skin in the game. My friends dad is a NHS doc and he just admits he tries to process patients faster as it gives him more money, and diagnoses them faster since they get paid per diagnosis not per visit.
