Vitamin D3 is the designation for the form of vitamin D made in the skin from cholesterol when direct sunlight falls on the skin. Vitamin D3 is essentially inactive but is converted into the active form of vitamin D in the liver and kidneys. The active form of Vitamin D facilitates three of the many steps required for achieving and maintaining optimal bone mineral density. Firstly, vitamin D is central to calcium absorption from the intestines and its depletion results in severely limited calcium absorption. Secondly, vitamin D acts in the kidneys to prevent excessive urinary calcium losses, an ever-present vulnerability of kidney filtration of the blood. Bone thinning as we age is often related to urinary calcium wastage due to depleted vitamin D stores in the body. And thirdly, vitamin D is instrumental in the incorporation of calcium into the bone, boosting bone mineral density.
