What is vitamin D3?
Vitamin D3, also known as cholecalciferol , belongs to the vitamin D group and is made up of various calciferols .
Vitamin D is known as the "sun vitamin" because it can be produced in the body by means of UV radiation from the sun and from a precursor of cholesterol. It is then converted into the active vitamin D3 in the liver and kidneys [1].
Vitamin D levels in the body are therefore primarily dependent on sufficient exposure to sunlight. The vitamin is not only produced by the body, it can also be absorbed through food . Notable sources include fatty fish such as herring and salmon[2].
What does vitamin D3 do in the body?
Vitamin D is particularly well known for bone maintenance . This is because it promotes the absorption of calcium and supports the calcium level in the blood. In addition to bone maintenance, vitamin D is also important for muscle function and the immune system. You can find more information about vitamin D in our store.
