Vitamin D is an important nutrient for your body. It is essential for the absorption of calcium, and thus for keeping teeth and bones strong and healthy.
Vitamin-D deficiency results in poor bone and teeth development in children (rickets), and loss of calcium from bones in adults which can result in osteoporosis.
