Vitamin D is necessary for bone growth and strength, and works synergistically with calcium and phosphorus to improve their absorption.
It's a fat-soluble vitamin. It can be ingested through food or produced by the body as a result of sunlight hitting our skin.
People with little exposure to sunlight may need to supplement their diet with extra vitamin D.
Vitamin K also plays a role in bone health.
It is essential to allow the flow of calcium from the bloodstream to reach the bones and bone marrow.
It has been linked to osteoblasts, the cells that generate bone tissue, and is essential for producing and activating osteocalcin, a specific protein that promotes calcium fixation in bones.
