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 to increase their nutritional value, specifically to help consumers meet their daily vitamin D requirements. It is commonly found in dairy products like milk and yogurt, as well as in some cereals, orange juices, and plant-based milk alternatives.

Vitamin D is essential for bone health and immune function. The FDA considers vitamin D a necessary nutrient and allows its addition to certain foods. The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine have established upper intake levels for vitamin D. JECFA has evaluated vitamin D and set an acceptable daily intake. Consuming very high amounts of vitamin D can lead to adverse health effects, but typical intakes from fortified foods are generally considered safe.
