Its primary function is to maintain normal levels of calcium and phosphate in the serum. During winter and in areas with minimal sun exposure, dietary supplementation is necessary for optimal musculoskeletal health.
Vitamin D3 plays a very crucial role in absorption of calcium and phosphorous from the intestine, which is critical for formation, growth and regeneration of bones. It supports healthy bones and teeth. It also plays a role in cell growth, neuromuscular and immune function, and reduction of inflammation. If you do not get enough of vitamin D, you are more likely to experience fractures, muscle pain and weakness. Adequate levels of vitamin D in body can prevent the rickets in children and bone softening in adults and elderly.
