Vitamins and minerals work together to maintain bone health


Vitamins and minerals have different functions in the body. Sometimes they may work together at times. Vitamins and minerals are needed to maintain the health of tissue, organs, muscles, bones and blood. Vinatim D is essential to absorb calcium. Actually, without vitamin D, the body can't form a hormone called calcitriol, which will contribute to insufficient dietary calcium absorption. If the body doesn't get enough calcium, it will extract it from the bones. This may cause Osteoporosis.
