What is vitamin D3?
Vitamin D3 is not so much a vitamin as a hormone. However, this is not the only special feature of vitamin D. It is also the only vitamin that can be produced by the body itself . All it needs is sunlight. Vitamin D3 is produced with the help of a sterol, which is the precursor of cholesterol, and is converted into the active form calcitriol in the liver and kidneys [1].
What is vitamin D3 good for?
Vitamin D3 is involved in many metabolic processes . Among other things, it is involved in the absorption of calcium and its subsequent incorporation into the bones . Vitamin D3 is therefore particularly important for bone maintenance[2].
