The Bones
It regulates the cells needed to maintain and build bone, promotes the absorption of calcium in your bones and helps to store the calcium in your skeletal tissue.
The Kidneys
Prevents the loss of vitamin D when urinating by recycling the calcium in the kidneys in order for the bones to absorb it properly.
In Pregnancy
