Characteristics The Vitamin D3 dietary supplement is suitable for individuals with vitamin D deficiency, reduced sun exposure, and indications of osteoporosis. Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that is naturally synthesized in the body through the effect of ultraviolet radiation from the sun on the skin, with the main role of proper bone development and skeletal health promotion. A small amount of vitamin D is also obtained from the consumption of certain foods, such as fatty fish (salmon, mackerel, tuna, cod, herring, sardines), cod liver oil, egg yolk, beef liver, cheese, whole grain cereals, walnut oil, and coconut oil. There are two main forms of vitamin D: D2 or ergocalciferol, which is found in plant-based products (such as mushrooms) and D3 or cholecalciferol, which is found in animal-based products (such as eggs and fish). D3 is the most bioavailable form of cholecalciferol for better absorption.
