Why ox liver cures night blindness and why cod liver oil and sunshine can help to cure rickets?!


Question: Why ox liver cures night blindness and why cod liver oil and sunshine can help to cure rickets!?
Answers:
I can't speak to the ox, but mammalian livers are rich in vitamin A, a necessary ingredient for night vision!.

The ultraviolet rays in sunshine penetrate the skin for a few millimeters and lead to the body producing Vitamin D!. Cod liver oil is also high in vitamin D!. Lack of vitamin D in childhood leads to an abnormal growth of the ends of the bones, a condition known as rickets!.Www@Youqa@Cn

Essential vitamins like Vitamin A, B6, B12, Omega 3 and Omega 6, Sunshine helps our body produce Vitamin D which in turn helps your body absorb all other nutrients and essential vitamins listed above!.Www@Youqa@Cn
