It is also needed for bone growth and bone remodeling by osteoblasts and osteoclasts. Without sufficient vitamin D, bones can become thin, brittle, or misshapen. Vitamin D has other roles in human health, including modulation of neuromuscular, immune function and reduction of inflammation.Why is Vitamin D3 preferred over Vitamin D2?Evidence has been offered that they are metabolized differently.
