How It Works:
Cholecalciferol (Vitamin D3) is synthesized in the skin upon exposure to sunlight. It undergoes
activation through hydroxylation in the liver and kidneys, forming 1,25-
dihydroxycholecalciferol, the active form. This metabolite helps regulate calcium and
phosphate levels, supporting healthy bone formation and neuromuscular function.
