Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the primary functions of vitamin D: Vitamin D plays a critical role in calcium and phosphorus absorption, bone health, and maintaining strong and healthy bones. It is essential for proper bone mineralization and overall skeletal health.
Review the concept of antioxidants: Antioxidants are compounds that help neutralize free radicals in the body, preventing oxidative stress and damage to cells. Common antioxidants include vitamins C and E, but vitamin D is not classified as an antioxidant.
Compare the listed functions with the role of vitamin D: The first three options (stimulating calcium and phosphorus absorption, building new bone tissue, and maintaining strong bones) align with the known functions of vitamin D.
Identify the outlier: The statement 'Acting as an antioxidant' does not align with the established functions of vitamin D, as it is not involved in neutralizing free radicals or oxidative stress.
Conclude that the correct answer is the function that does NOT apply to vitamin D, which is 'Acting as an antioxidant.'
