  3 As the mostcommon mineral in the human body, calcium makes up about 2.3% of the body’s weight, most of which is stored in the bones. As a mineral, the body cannot produce its own stores of calcium; it must instead be consumed in adequate amounts to enable the body to function properly. Vitamin D regulates the level of calcium that is in the body, and a lack of vitamin D can lead to bone deformities including rickets and osteomalacia. The body can create vitamin D from direct sunlight on the skin, and it can also be found in foods including oily fish, liver, red meat and egg yolks. Vitamin D helps the body to efficiently absorb calcium, enabling it to perform its various tasks in the body more effectively.
