What is vitamin D3?
Vitamin D3, or cholecalciferol, is one of the best known and most important vitamins in the vitamin D group.
In the strictest sense, vitamin D3 is not a vitamin, but counts as a (pro)hormone, as vitamin D3 is produced by the body itself. With the help of sunlight , the human body can produce and store vitamin D in the skin. The cholecalciferol is then converted into the active vitamin D (calcitriol) in the liver and kidneys[1].
What effect does vitamin D3 have?
Vitamin D3 performs many important tasks in the body. It is particularly well known for maintaining bones. This is because vitamin D3 promotes the absorption of calcium from the intestine and thus promotes a normal calcium level in the blood[2].
Calcium is the most important building block in bones and ensures sufficient bone density[3].

How can a vitamin D3 deficiency occur?
In order for the body to produce vitamin D3, it needs sufficient exposure to sunlight (UVB rays). However, the body's own vitamin D production depends on many factors.
Factors for the body's own vitamin D3 production are
- Latitude
- Length of time spent outdoors
- Time of year and time of day
- Weather conditions
- Clothing
- Skin type
- Use of sunscreen[4]
For example, a lifestyle that mainly takes place indoors can result in low vitamin D levels.
How can a vitamin D3 deficiency be prevented?
In addition to spending sufficient time outdoors, a small amount of vitamin D can also be supplied to the body through food . Larger amounts of vitamin D are mainly found in animal foods such as eggs or oily fish (salmon, mackerel, honey)[5].
To prevent a vitamin D deficiency, another alternative is to take high-quality vitamin D3 supplements in addition to your diet. Here at Naturprodukte.store you will find premium Vitamin D3 from Healthy Origins in different dosages or other vitamin D supplements from premium manufacturers.
