उत्तर
It is widely known that vitamin D, a fat-soluble vitamin, aids in the body's absorption and retention of calcium and phosphorus, both of which are essential for bone development. Vitamin D can help control infections, reduce inflammation, and slow the formation of tumours. Cod liver oil, salmon, swordfish, tuna, fortified dairy and plant milk, sardines, egg yolks, and enriched grains are some of the sources of vitamin D.
