Vitamin D

Vitamin D

Vitamin D is among the most difficult to obtain the daily
requirement through naturally occurring sources. Most of
those concerned with this make sure that they consume enough
Vitamin D fortified foods and dietary supplements or Cod Liver
Oil
to supply their daily needs.

One reason that it is so important is that Vitamin D helps
to ensure calcium absorption. It can increase calcium
absorption by 30% to 80%.

Rickets can be caused by a lack of Vitamin D. It happens in both
people and pets. This cause the bones to be weak, misshapen or
brittle. So please be aware that you need to meet the daily intake
requirements of Vitamin D.
