Family practice : Vit d is not a true vitamin. It is a hormone that is produced in our skin. Sunlight helps in its production. Vit d is added to milk and calcium because it is needed for bone absorption. Vit d is important for our heart circulation and brain. It is being found to be important in a lot of areas of our body as research is being done.
