• Vitamin D3 is a fat-soluble form of vitamin D – when you produce this naturally, it’s called cholecalciferol.We produce vitamin D3 in our skin when exposed to adequate ultraviolet light from the sun. However, our modern lifestyles, which tend to keep us indoors, are depriving us of the sunshine we need. Unfortunately,  even the foods we eat rarely contain enough vitamin D3 – if any at all!
