Vitamin D
Vitamin D has a pivotal role in the mineralisation of bones and teeth.
Vitamin D is closely associated with calcium, since it controls bone mineralisation through the regulation of calcium and phosphorus homeostasis.
Additionally, vitamin D has critical physiological roles across many body functions and systems, not just through bones and teeth. These include in cell proliferation and differentiation, regulation of the innate and adaptive immune systems, preventive effects on cardiovascular, neurodegenerative diseases, oxidative stress reduction, cognitive decline and depression, progression of skeletal and non-skeletal diseases and against risk for malignant neoplasms.
The full entry for vitamin D is undergoing validation and will be added soon.
