Short description
For the bones to stay strong the bones need calcium, however the body must have adequate vitamin D in order to absorb and use calcium efficiently. The body manufactures some vitamin D on its own when it is exposed to sunlight, but for people living in the northern latitudes where wintertime sun exposure is limited, the body's natural vitamin D may often be insufficient.

Warning
Do not take large doses of vitamin D if you have too high levels of calcium in your blood (hypercalcaemia). A large therapeutic vitamin D supplement can require monitoring of your body's calcium balance. Certain circumstances disturb the absorption and metabolism of vitamin D: some cholesterol-lowering remedies, gastric acid inhibitors, and cortisone drugs. Some diuretics also interfere with the relation between calcium and vitamin D.
