What is vitamin D3?
Vitamin D3, or cholecalciferol, is one of the best known and most important vitamins in the vitamin D group.
In the strictest sense, vitamin D3 is not a vitamin, but counts as a (pro)hormone, as vitamin D3 is produced by the body itself. With the help of sunlight , the human body can produce and store vitamin D in the skin. The cholecalciferol is then converted into the active vitamin D (calcitriol) in the liver and kidneys[1].
What effect does vitamin D3 have?
Vitamin D performs many important tasks in the body. It is particularly well known for maintaining bones. This is because vitamin D promotes calcium absorption from the intestine and thus supports a normal calcium level in the blood[2].
Calcium is the most important building block in bones and ensures sufficient bone density[3].

How can a vitamin D3 deficiency occur?
In order for the body to produce vitamin D, it needs sufficient exposure to sunlight (UVB rays). However, the body's own vitamin D production depends on many factors.
Factors for the body's own vitamin D3 production are
- Latitude
- Length of time spent outdoors
- Time of year and time of day
- Weather conditions
- Clothing
- Skin type
- Use of sunscreen[4]
For example, a lifestyle that mainly takes place indoors can result in low vitamin D levels.
How can a vitamin D deficiency be prevented?
In addition to spending sufficient time outdoors, a small amount of vitamin D can also be supplied to the body through food . Larger amounts of vitamin D are mainly found in animal foods such as eggs or oily fish (salmon, mackerel, herring)[5].
To prevent a vitamin D deficiency, taking high-quality vitamin D3 supplements in addition to your diet is another alternative. Here at Naturprodukte.store you will find premium Vitamin D3 from Healthy Origins in different dosages or other vitamin D supplements from premium manufacturers.
