What Is Vitamin D? Benefits, Sources and Why It Matters
Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that helps the body absorb calcium and phosphorus, supporting healthy bones and teeth as well as normal muscle function.

Are Today’s Teens Getting Enough Vitamin D?
Malaysian research shows that low vitamin D can be common in adolescents, although the exact percentage changes depending on the study population and the blood-level cut-off used. In the MyHeARTs study, 78.9% of 13-year-old had 25-hydroxyvitamin D below 50 nmol/L, with higher rates among girls and urban adolescents. A later Kota Bharu study using a lower cut-off of below 30 nmol/L reported 16.9% among healthy adolescents aged 13-18, so the two percentages should not be compared directly.

The Role of Vitamin D in a Healthy Pregnancy
Living in a sunny country does not necessarily mean you are getting enough vitamin D. Vitamin D helps the body absorb calcium and supports maternal bone health and the baby’s skeletal development during pregnancy.
