Vitamin D for Muscles and Bones

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.

Vitamin D and Your Bones

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.

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.

Vitamin D and Your Muscles

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.

Vitamin D and Calcium Absorption

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.
