Which vitamins are important in the growth process?

• A. Vitamins B & C
• B. Vitamins A & D
• C. Vitamins E & K
• D. Vitamins C & B

Answer: (B)

Growth relies on nutrients that help form new tissues and bones. Vitamin A supports healthy growth by promoting cell development and differentiation in growing tissues, while vitamin D is essential for calcium and phosphorus absorption and bone mineralization. Together they directly drive the processes that lead to growth. Other vitamin pairs contribute to health in important ways—B vitamins mainly support energy metabolism, C aids collagen formation in connective tissues, and E and K have roles in antioxidant protection and blood clotting—yet they aren’t as closely tied to the growth of bones and overall tissue expansion as vitamins A and D. So the vitamins most important for the growth process are vitamin A and vitamin D.
