What is vitamin D3?
Vitamin D3, also known as cholecalciferol , is probably the best-known form of vitamin D in the vitamin D group, which is made up of various calciferols . Ergocalciferol (vitamin D2) is also an important representative of the sun vitamin and is mainly found in plants.
Vitamin D was given the name "sun vitamin" because it can be produced in the body with the help of UV radiation from the sun and a precursor of cholesterol.
Strictly speaking, vitamin D is therefore not a real vitamin, but a (pro)hormone that serves the body as a starting material for numerous substances [1].
Vitamin D can also be obtained in certain quantities from food . Important sources of vitamin D2 and vitamin D3 are
- oily sea fish
- liver
- edible mushrooms
- egg yolk
- Vitamin D-enriched foods (e.g. margarine)
What effect does vitamin D3 have?
Vitamin D3 is responsible for many important tasks in the body. It is particularly well known for the strength of bones, as vitamin D3 acts as a "resorption aid" to support the absorption of calcium from the intestine, which is then transported to the bones . Vitamin D also plays an important role in muscle function , teeth and the immune system[2].
