Vitamin D3 Cyanocobalamin

Vitamin D3 is a fat-soluble vitamin that helps the body absorb calcium and phosphorus. It is naturally produced in the skin when exposed to sunlight. It can also be obtained from certain foods and is often added to fortified foods.

Vitamin D3 is added to foods to increase their nutritional value, helping consumers meet their daily vitamin D requirements. It is commonly found in dairy products like milk and yogurt, as well as in fortified cereals, orange juice, and plant-based milk alternatives.

Vitamin D3 is recognized as safe and effective by the FDA when used as a nutrient supplement. It plays a crucial role in bone health and immune function. The WHO has also recognized the importance of vitamin D for overall health. While generally safe, excessive intake can lead to adverse effects, though this is rare from food sources alone. JECFA has evaluated vitamin D and established acceptable intake levels.
