Dietary Reference Intakes for Calcium and Vitamin D
Abstract
Calcium and vitamin D are the two essential nutrients which are known for their vital role in the health of bones. But over the last few years, the general public has heard conflicting reviews over the benefits of these nutrients- especially vitamin D-and also about how much calcium and vitamin D needs to be taken in order to stay healthy. To help and clarify this pertinent issue, major steps were drawn with the help of U.S and Canadian Governments and also by the European Commission to set a dietary reference value and also set the Tolerance upper intake level of both these nutrients. The purpose of this article is to cover exhaustively the potential health outcomes of these essential nutrients not just in bone health but also in overall health condition of an individual.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
