Skin protects us from the environment and it acts as a barrier, protecting our body from pathogens, harsh environment and UV rays. Skin itself has many layers but the top layer is the one that is exposed to be seen, that is where the skin gets its tone.

It is established that vitamin D and Vitamin K2-7 helps calcium to be absorbed by the bones, similarly for optimum skin cell growth we need Vitamin B8 or Inositol along with calcium.

Calcium Supplements are prescribed for dealing with skin aliments like eczema, psoriasis etc.
