Vitamin D can be absorbed and metabolized through sunlight and/or dietary intake. Cholesterol is a precursor for vitamin D metabolism. To metabolize vitamin D by sunlight, first our skin absorbs previtamin D in the form of 7- dehydrocholestrol to become precalciferol (previtamin D3). Thermal isomerization occurs to produce cholecalciferol (vitamin D3). Cholecalciferol is the form of vitamin D found in animal food products. Then, cholecalciferol goes to the liver and converts to 25-OH-D3 (calcidiol), which is the storage form of vitamin D. This form travels to the kidneys to become 1,25-OH2-D3 (calcitriol), which is the active form of vitamin D.
