Major Role of Vitamin D.
- Vitamin D promotes calcium absorption in the gut and maintains adequate serum calcium and phosphate concentrations to enable normal mineralization of bone and to prevent hypocalcemic tetany.
- It is also needed for bone growth and bone remodeling by osteoblasts and osteoclasts.
- Without sufficient vitamin D, bones can become thin, brittle, or misshapen
- Vitamin D sufficiency prevents rickets in children and Osteomalacia in adults
- Together with calcium, vitamin D also helps protect older adults from osteoporosis
Vitamin D other roles in the body:
- Including modulation of cell growth.
