Vitamin D Supplement
How It Works
Cholecalciferol (vitamin D3) is synthesized in the skin under UV light and metabolized through
two hydroxylation steps — first in the liver, then in the kidney — into the biologically active
metabolite 1,25-dihydroxy-cholecalciferol. This active form is crucial for regulating calcium and
phosphate balance along with parathyroid hormone and calcitonin.

transformation.
