The Importance of Vitamin D Metabolism and Child Growth and Development

Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that plays an important role in regulating calcium and phosphorus absorption in the body.

The main functions of Vitamin D are:

1. **Promotes calcium absorption**: Vitamin D promotes calcium and phosphorus absorption in the small intestine, which is important for bone and tooth formation.

2. **Maintaining Bone Health**: Without adequate vitamin D, you may have problems building and maintaining bones, increasing your risk of fractures.

3. **Supports Immune Function**: Vitamin D is also involved in the normal functioning of the immune system and is thought to improve the body's ability to fight infection and inflammation.

A deficiency in Vitamin D can lead to health problems such as impaired bone health (increased risk of rickets and fractures) and a weakened immune system.

In September 2018, Kurume University held a lecture titled "The Importance of Vitamin D Metabolism and Child Growth and Development."

According to the lecture, it was reported that many mothers today have a vitamin D deficiency in their breast milk, and that as a result, there has been a sharp increase in the incidence of rickets in children.

GMG Corporation has also focused on the importance of Vitamin D and has been developing products for it, so we sponsored this event.

Durbilia Plus is a product developed with a focus on vitamin D and with the aim of strengthening bones.
