Vitamin D3 is synthesized in the body in response to UV radiation or can be supplemented through food. The body metabolizes vitamin D3 through a series of steps, including hydroxylation in the liver and kidneys. The active form of vitamin D3 is 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3, which is produced by hydroxylating 25-hydroxycholecalciferol in the kidneys.
