      Although you do not mention why you were asked to take it four times a day, generally Vitamin D is helps in increasing intestinal absorption of minerals important for your bones such as calcium, magnesium, phosphate, and zinc, among other functions. Deficiency of Vitamin D can cause softening of bones which may manifest as rickets among other complications.

      If 4xdaily is a prescription given by a doctor I advise you stick to it.

      You don’t need to take Vit D four times a day recommended daily dose unless it was prescribed by a doctor. A healthy diet and lifestyle is the most important.
