Detailed explanation-1: -Vitamin D is the sunshine vitamin that has been produced on this earth for more than 500 million years. During exposure to sunlight 7-dehydrocholesterol in the skin absorbs UV B radiation and is converted to previtamin D3 which in turn isomerizes into vitamin D3.
Detailed explanation-2: -Vitamin D is necessary for strong bones and muscles. Without Vitamin D, our bodies cannot effectively absorb calcium, which is essential to good bone health. Children who lack Vitamin D develop a condition called rickets, which causes bone weakness, bowed legs, and other skeletal deformities, such as stooped posture.
Detailed explanation-3: -Vitamin D Production, Metabolism to Active Forms, and Serum Transport. Vitamin D3 is produced in the skin from 7-dehydrocholesterol by ultraviolet (UV) irradiation, which breaks the B ring to form pre-D3.
