Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The correct answer is all of the above. Your body needs calcium to keep bones strong. Too little calcium and bones become brittle and break easily. Vitamin D helps the body take in calcium.
Detailed explanation-2: -Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is a nutrient your body needs to form blood vessels, cartilage, muscle and collagen in bones. Vitamin C is also vital to your body’s healing process.
Detailed explanation-3: -Consume your daily recommended vitamin C intake by eating a range of fruits and veggies–red and green bell pepper, oranges, kiwifruit and strawberries are particularly rich sources of ascorbic acid. Fatty fish–such as swordfish and tuna–and dairy products boost your vitamin D3 intake.
