Vitamin D is necessary for bone growth and strength, and works synergistically with calcium and phosphorus to improve absorption.
It is a fat soluble vitamin. It can be ingested with food or manufactured by the body as a result of the incidence of sunlight on our skin.
People with little exposure to sunlight may need to supplement their diet with extra vitamin D.
Vitamin K is also involved 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 related to osteoblasts, the cells that generate bone tissue and is essential for producing and activating osteocalcin, a specific protein that favors the fixation of calcium in the bones.
