Vitamin D3 or cholecalciferol is a hormone involved in the mineralization of bones by its action of calcium fixation on mineralized tissues (bones, cartilage, and teeth). Vitamin D is a fat-soluble hormone found in food and in the human body in the form of a precursor transformed by the action of UVB rays. Only certain foods contain vitamin D, specifically meats, eggs, and milk.
Lack of sun exposure, and a low-meat diet can lead to deficiencies of vitamin D. Nearly 80% of the population is deficient, primarily elderly people. Clinical signs of vitamin D deficiency are: osteomalacia and rickets in the bone, decreased muscle tone, tetanus attacks and seizures, and sometimes anemia.
