Vitamin D contributes to the maintenance of normal bones and normal muscle function. It also contributes to normal absorption of calcium, which is essential for bone health. One serving of Moller’s Omega-3 (5 ml) provides 10 mcg of vitamin D.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Vitamin D and Your Bones<\/h2>\n

Vitamin D contributes to the maintenance of normal bones. It does this by helping the body absorb calcium from food. Calcium is needed for the construction and maintenance of bone tissue.<\/p>\n

For children, vitamin D is needed for normal growth and development of bone. The Health Council advises giving children up to 4 years an extra 10 mcg of vitamin D per day.<\/p>\n

Vitamin D and Your Muscles<\/h2>\n

Vitamin D contributes to the maintenance of normal muscle function. Muscles play a role in movement, balance, and daily activities. Adequate vitamin D intake supports this function throughout life.<\/p>\n

Vitamin D and Calcium Absorption<\/h2>\n

Vitamin D contributes to normal absorption of calcium. Without sufficient vitamin D, the body cannot effectively use the calcium from food. This is why vitamin D and calcium work together for bone health.<\/p>\n
