Vitamin D3 also known as the “sunshine vitamin” is produced in the skin when it is exposed to sunlight. When exposure happens, a hormone is produced from cholesterol and this allows the vitamin to be produced through the skin. It circulates in the bloodstream and aids in the absorption of calcium and phosphorus.

If there is not enough of this vitamin in the body to help absorb the calcium the body will pull it from the bones. Without proper absorption of calcium for vitamin D3, the bones will get weak and this can lead to fractures and osteoporosis.

There are two different forms of vitamin D. Both are found in dietary supplements or fortified foods. Vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol) is known to be man-made and comes from fortified foods and plant sources.

Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) is found in animal-based foods and produced in our bodies through the sunlight and ultraviolet light. Vitamin D3 is also known to increase vitamin D levels overall in the blood.Individuals who use a lot of sunscreen and who do not have much exposure to the sun due to location, weather, and skin pigmentation don’t get the proper amounts of vitamin D. Since there are few foods that have the nutrient naturally, supplements are an option.
