Vitamin D helps keep bones, teeth and muscles healthy. People who don’t have enough vitamin D are more likely to fall or break bones.
A good source of vitamin D is sunlight. It is also found in some foods. However it can be hard to get enough vitamin D so doctors recommend taking vitamin D supplements (tablets) to keep healthy.
