What it is

Cholecalciferol is a form of Vitamin D, often called Vitamin D3. It is naturally produced in the skin of animals, including humans, when exposed to sunlight. It can also be synthesized for use in foods and supplements.

Why it's used

Cholecalciferol is added to foods as a nutrient to fortify them with Vitamin D. It is commonly found in dairy products like milk and yogurt, as well as in some juices, cereals, and meal replacement products.

Health notes

In the US, cholecalciferol is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a nutrient. Vitamin D is essential for bone health and immune function. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated Vitamin D and established guidelines for its use. Evidence suggests adequate Vitamin D intake supports overall health.

Allergen info

Cholecalciferol is not a major allergen. It is not derived from milk, egg, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, soy, or sesame. It does not contain gluten.
