Functioning With Parathyroid Glands
Vitamin D works with parathyroid glands to maintain enough calcium serum levels. The duty of parathyroid glands is to balance the minute to minute calcium levels in the blood by cooperating with the kidneys, skeleton, and digestive tract. When there is enough calcium content in the diet and adequate amounts of active vitamin D, the dietary calcium absorbs well and put in good use throughout the body. However, if the calcium or vitamin D intake is insufficient, the parathyroid glands will start borrowing calcium from the skeleton to maintain the blood calcium levels in a normal range.
