Introduction
Vitamin D3, also known as cholecalciferol or colecalciferol, is a vital fat-soluble vitamin. It is sourced from animal products such as liver and especially from seafood such as fish and shrimp, and is more effective in raising and maintaining adequate levels of vitamin D in the bloodstream. This essential vitamin supports various bodily functions, including the regulation of calcium and phosphorus levels, contributing to bone health and immune system function. Furthermore, emerging research suggests that vitamin D3 may also have protective effects against certain chronic diseases, highlighting its importance in diet and nutrition.
