Vitamin D3: Vitamin D3 plays a very crucial role in the absorption of calcium and phosphorous from the intestine, which is critical for the formation, growth and regeneration of bones. It helps support healthy bones and teeth. It also plays a role in cell growth, neuromuscular and immune function and reduction of inflammation.
FAQ
Q1: Which foods are a good source of Vitamin D?
Ans: Foods rich in Vitamin D are certain fatty fish such as salmon & tuna, fish & cod liver oil, cheese and egg yolk. Vitamin D is formed under our skin when we are exposed to the sun.

Ans: With the current lifestyle, we are all based indoors in air-conditioned offices, houses and cars, with hardly any exposure to the sun.
