Dr. Wang Lei
The most important function of vitamin D3 is to promote the absorption of calcium and phosphorus. Simply put, the primary pathway for calcium absorption in the human body is through vitamin D3. Calcium deficiency can lead to a series of problems, and a lack of vitamin D3 indirectly causes calcium deficiency. Secondly, vitamin D3 promotes the deposition of calcium and phosphorus in bones, thus helping prevent kyphosis (hunchback). At the same time, vitamin D3 also plays a physiological role in enhancing calcium absorption.
