And Vitamin D3

Vitamin D3, also known as cholecalciferol, is a fat-soluble vitamin that helps the body absorb calcium. It is naturally produced in the skin when exposed to sunlight. It can also be found in some foods and is often added to fortified products.

Vitamin D3 is added to foods as a nutrient to help consumers meet their dietary needs. It is commonly found in dairy products like milk and yogurt, as well as in fortified juices, cereals, and plant-based milk alternatives.

Vitamin D is essential for bone health and immune function. The FDA considers Vitamin D to be generally recognized as safe (GRAS) when used as intended in foods. The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has also evaluated Vitamin D and its contribution to nutrient intake. While generally safe, excessive intake of Vitamin D supplements can lead to adverse health effects, but this is unlikely from food sources alone.
