Vitamin D in all its forms is best known for its ability to prevent rickets. While vitamin D 3 is synthesized by the skin from exposure to the ultraviolet radiation of sunlight, this action may not be sufficient to meet physiological needs. We may not be exposed to sufficient sunlight because of geographical location (latitude), shelter, or clothing. Under these conditions, supplementation is essential. Deficiency of this fat-soluble vitamin is characterized by demineralization or inadequate mineralization of the skeleton. The former condition results in osteomalacia in adults, while the latter condition causes rickets in children. Vitamin D enhances the efficiency of calcium absorption.
