Science behind Vitamin D and Calcium
Calcium plays a vital role in maintaining the bone health, its is the key constituents of bones. Since Calcium is not produced in the human body, we rely on diet or supplements for required calcium intake. Over 99% of Calcium in our body is stored in bones and teeth.
Calcium imparts density and strength to the bones. Studies have demonstrated positive effects of supplementation with Calcium and Vitamin D on the bone mineral density and bone mineral content.
Women are at a higher risk of osteoporosis and hence doctors recommend them to take Calcium supplements. Vitamin D helps in absorption of Calcium and ensures sufficient Calcium is available for optimum bone mineralization. However, vitamin D also has specific actions on kidney and bone. Hence these are effective only when used in combination.
