Vitamin D helps bones absorb Calcium, which makes them stronger.

What do you mean?   Bones are made mostly of calcium.   There's a disease called osteoporosis which causes calcium to be removed from bones and weakens the bones.   I don't know if it is painful, but I don't believe it is.

Calcium. When I have had broken bones, I crave milk and the doctor said my body is needing the calcium in it. Drink and eat lots of calcium rich foods. Also a good calcium supplement pill or capsule will help.

vitamin D sunlight\nSOme forms of calcium are easier to absorb than others.  A good source is to cook a turky carcass in a pot, add five tablespoons vinegar and it pulls the calcium out of the bones.\nMany times the pills are either hard to digest or are not as good as getting it from several sources, like green leafies, and so on.  Lots of high fat foods that contain calcium are not wise.  TOo much info?

Post this question in food and drink to get better results.\nDrink more milk and eat more dairy products for calcium.\nGet a lot of sunshine for Vit D to help bone building.\nOsteoporosis is the loss of calcuim from your bone. Supplement helps but try not to depend on prescriptions there are natural way to prevent this.\nHope the site below helps :)

It is the other way around. Calcium atoms ARE present in bones.

calcium is maintaind in the blood by the action of parathyroid hormone and calcitrol\nReceptors monitor the level and if it is low, parathyroid acts on bone to release calcium and increase intestinal absorption, if it is high the hormones act on bone to bind more calcium and the gut to stop absorbing it

Cholecalciferol is a form of Vitamin D, also called vitamin D3. It is structurally similar to steroids such as testosterone, cholesterol, and cortisol (though vitamin D3 itself is a secosteroid).\n\n1g of pure vitamin D3 is 40 000 000 (40x106) IU, or in other words, one IU is 0.025 μg.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitamin_D3\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IUPAC_nomenclature

1) Calcium is not a vitamin.  They're two different things.  Calcium is a mineral.\n\n2) Some people complain of constipation when taking calcium supplements.  Otherwise, not much.

Yes you need magnesium and plenty of it.  and also vitamin D\n \n\nbut also Zinc, Silicon, boron are needed.  Trace minerals matter.\n\nvitamin D capsules are cheap and better to take than food sources.   reliable and easy to take and use.

Jeeze... OK, people... please realize that bones are connected to mammary glands, though the connection is not a direct one...  \n\nBones are made of mineralized proteins. That is, they have a loose structure made of proteins, which are like fibers (think of the protein as like rebar in concrete) around the protein (rebar) are placed minerals (cement) such as Calcium and Phosphate ions. When breast feeding, a woman needs calcium to be available to make milk, but obviously her body doesn't want to liberate all of her bones' calcium. Two hormones regulate calcium levels in the blood, Calcitonin and Parathormone. Parathormone (parathyroid hormone) increases blood levels of Ca, whereas calcitonin decreases blood levels of Ca. These hormones either stimulate bone cells to free Ca into the blood, or put it back into bone, respectively. When nursing, the mother is, of course, using some of her Ca reserves. It's important to note, though, that much of this is replaced by diet, and that there are hormonal checks in place to make sure Calcium depletion doesn't happen. So, no, a healthy woman with a good diet can nurse all she wants. Calcium supplements are not a bad idea, though.\n\nAlso, for God's sake, we don't produce Calcium! It's a mineral, and we have to get it from our diet.

Basically a vitamin is of nutritional value helping the body function properly, hormones are powerful chemicals produced in the body and lead to adjustment in body functions resulting in adaptation or growth.

Calcium is the main ingredient in bones. Bones are the frame work or "steel Support" of the body. Muscle are attached to the bones, yes they do the lifting and pulling part  but they need a good achor and lever system. It does no good to have a strong muscle if the the item it is attached to will snap.
