Child's height can stop due to lack of vitamin D. Vitamin D is rich in calcium which plays an important role in bone growth. Vitamin D deficiency can cause bone pain and other health problems. If you want your child to grow properly, do not let there be a deficiency of vitamin D and talk to the doctor about what things to include in the diet so that the deficiency of vitamin D in your child's body can be fulfilled.

Studies have shown that there is a link between low levels of vitamin D and stunting in children. Vitamin D facilitates the absorption of calcium from food, which is essential for bone development. Most of the vitamin D our body gets from sunlight.

Vitamin D is considered important for children's height and bone development. However, during childhood and adolescence, vitamin D helps bones grow and become dense.
