Why doesn’t TUMS contain Vitamin D?
While it is correct that Vitamin D helps with calcium absorption, it is not necessary to consume Vitamin D and calcium simultaneously to receive the calcium benefits. It is important, however, that your body has an adequate level of Vitamin D. ^ Top The human body converts sunlight exposure to Vitamin D, and for those who don’t get much exposure, there are other sources, such as Vitamin D-fortified foods including milk. For the average adult, these sources of Vitamin D provide sufficient levels of this nutrient for the body’s use in absorbing calcium. If you have concerns about whether you are indeed getting enough Vitamin D, we urge you to speak with your physician.
