Vitamin D3 is derived from a form of cholesterol (7-dehyrocholesterol) converted to D3 in the liver and kidneys, it is the only vitamin the body can manufacture from sunlight.
It is recommended vitamin D levels are kept up to 125 nano moles per litre to reduce the risk of chronic diseases. Lack of sun, clothing and sunscreen reduces vitamin D absorption.
Vitamin D is a fat soluble vitamin, liquid and gel caps are best. Private labs offer vitamin D testing. To determine if your D3 supplement is working for you and your dosage is correct, consult your General Physician and/or Naturopathic Physician.
