Vitamin D: What does it do and how to get it
Vitamin D is a vitamin the body cannot do without. It helps the body absorb calcium, it promotes cell growth and immune function, and reduces inflammation. Vitamin D and calcium together help prevent osteoporosis in older adults.
Without an adequate supply of Vitamin D, bones can easily become brittle, thin and misshapen and the body cannot properly heal itself or carry out basic cellular functions.
