Vitamin D3
Also known as: Cholecalciferol, Vitamin D, VitD3
The most biologically active supplemental form of Vitamin D. Essential for calcium absorption, bone health, immune function, and mood regulation. The NHS recommends all adults consider supplementing, particularly in autumn and winter. Especially important for perimenopausal and postmenopausal women given the role in bone density.

Research Context
Research context compiled from published sources
How does Vitamin D3 work?
Cholecalciferol is converted in the liver to 25-hydroxyvitamin D and then in the kidneys to the active form 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (calcitriol). Calcitriol promotes intestinal calcium absorption, regulates parathyroid hormone, modulates immune cell function, and influences over 1,000 genes.
