What’s the connection between calcium and D?
I recall someone telling me you had to be careful of supplementing D or you could promote calcification in arteries. You had to take with a calcium shop or something. Is that true?
- leto_ii 7y agoVitamin D has a significant role in calcium homeostasis and metabolism. Its discovery was due to effort to find the dietary substance lacking in children with rickets (the childhood form of osteomalacia).[12] Vitamin D supplements are given to treat or to prevent osteomalacia and rickets. taken from the Wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitamin_D https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitamin_D
