Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Wang Lei
Vitamin D helps supplement calcium and enhance immunity. It promotes bone growth and calcification, strengthens tooth function, and improves the absorption of phosphorus in the intestines. A deficiency in vitamin D can lead to diseases such as rickets, tetany, and osteomalacia. It also regulates the body's immune system, enhances the immune function of immune cells, and thereby improves the body's resistance.
