The Role of Vitamin D in Maintaining Calcium Levels
If the level of calcium in our blood falls, vitamin D causes the intestine to absorb more calcium. This helps to maintain the levels of calcium in our body for building bone and other functions. So it’s important for us to get enough vitamin D. Luckily, we make vitamin D in our skin when we are in the sunlight. Twenty to twenty-five minutes of midday sunlight can provide a white adult with enough vitamin D for two to three days. People with darker skin need to be in the sun longer (perhaps three hours). Often with busy lifestyles or inclement whether, or other reasons people do not always maintain proper Vitamin D levels. Calcium Supplements like NutraCal have high grade, high absorbing calcium plus added Vitamin D so you get the ultimate power combination for your calcium absorption needs.
