D Vitamin![]() |
||||
Vitamin D helps regulate calcium in the body and aids in the formation of normal bones and teeth.
Vitamin D helps the body absorb calcium from food, slows the loss of calcium in the urine, and helps deposit calcium into bones.
The body must have both calcium and vitamin D to build strong bones.
Symptoms of vitamin D deficiency include poor bone formation called rickets, in children, and several bone disorders in adults including osteomalacia and osteoporosis.
