Vitamin D helps regulate the amount of calcium and phosphate in the body.
These nutrients are needed to keep bones, teeth and muscles healthy.
A lack of vitamin D can lead to bone deformities such as
- rickets in children,
- bone pain caused by a condition called osteomalacia in adults.
- Vitamin D is nutrient your body needs for building and maintaining healthy bones.
- That’s because body can only absorb calcium,
- the primary component of bone,
- when vitamin D is present.
Vitamin D also regulates many other cellular functions in body.
