The study looked at how newborns and infants process calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus in their bodies. They found that calcium absorption and retention were linked to certain vitamin D levels in the blood. However, there was no significant connection between vitamin D levels and magnesium or phosphorus balance. The amount of magnesium and phosphorus in the diet affected how much of these minerals were absorbed and retained by the body.
