Bone growth depends mainly on the absorption from the intestine of two minerals, calcium and phosphorus. Vitamin D is the agent that promotes this process. Without it, bones do not grow normally, causing deformities of the skeleton that in turn can lead to poor growth, anemia and potential complications such as pneumonia and tuberculosis.
