Across the world, millions who seek sunlight and eat carefully still find themselves depleted — not because the nutrient is absent, but because the body's own fat holds it captive. Vitamin D, fat-soluble by nature, accumulates in adipose tissue rather than circulating where bones and muscles need it most. This quiet biochemical reality, explored by specialists at KIMS Hospitals in Thane, reveals that the path to stronger bones may run not through a supplement bottle but through the body's own composition. Even a modest shift in weight can unlock what was never truly missing.
