Vitamin- D is a fat soluble vitamin which plays a substantial role in regulation of calcium and maintenance of phosphorus levels in blood.
It is referred to as a sunlight vitamin because it is made in our skin after exposure to sunlight.
Calcium and Vitamin D work together to strengthen and protect the bones.
It contributes to skin cell growth, repair and metabolism.
