It is used to treat Vitamin D deficiency which can cause symptoms such as loss of bone density, which can contribute to osteoporosis and fractures (broken bones). Vitamin D is crucial to maintain healthy bone density and bone formation in children. It also helps to absorb calcium and phosphorus required to maintain optimum bone health.
