Vitamin D3 Butter

Vitamin D3 Butter is a food product that combines butter with vitamin D3. Vitamin D3, also known as cholecalciferol, is a form of vitamin D that can be produced in the skin when exposed to sunlight. It is often added to butter to increase its vitamin D content.

Manufacturers add vitamin D3 to butter to fortify it with this essential nutrient. This helps consumers increase their intake of vitamin D, which is important for bone health and immune function. It is commonly found in butter used in various dairy products and frozen foods.

Vitamin D3 is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a nutrient supplement. The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine have established upper intake levels for vitamin D. Both JECFA and EFSA have evaluated vitamin D and its forms. At typical dietary intakes, vitamin D contributes to overall health, particularly bone metabolism. Excessive intake can lead to adverse health effects.
