Solgar Stockist www.tinyurl.com The fat-soluble vitamin Ds most important role is maintaining blood levels of calcium, which it accomplishes by increasing absorption of calcium from food and reducing urinary calcium loss.

i just went to my doctor and she said my Vitamin D was very low. I don’t know what this means but she said it should be 20 and mine was 3.

I know it has alot to do with your bones but what immediate symptoms could I be feeling?
