Fat-soluble vitamin D, known as “the sun vitamin” but also as an “anti-ricket vitamin”, is considered very important for the development and proper functioning of the body. Vitamin D promotes the absorption & use of calcium and phosphorus from the intestine and their deposition in the bones, while controlling their levels in the blood. It is also required for bone growth and reconstruction by osteoblasts and osteoclyses. Without the necessary amount of vitamin D, the bones become thin and brittle. Additional new scientific data suggest that vitamin D has many additional roles, including cell growth, neuromuscular and immune functions as well as inflammation reduction. At the same time vitamin D contributes to the healthy condition of bones and teeth and to the normal functioning of muscles and immune systems.
