Vitamin D has numerous critical roles in human physiology and is imperative for supporting overall health from gestation to senescence. Vitamin D is unique because it can be synthesized in the skin. When 7-dehydrocholesterol reacts to sunlight, it is transported to the liver and converted into the metabolically active form 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D. This process may be inefficient in those with darker skin tones and is dependent on sunlight intensity, which varies with latitude, season, and other factors.
Vitamin D insufficiency may occur more frequently in older adults, people with gastrointestinal (GI) issues that can impair vitamin D absorption, individuals with obesity or those who have undergone gastric bypass surgery, and those with limited sun exposure and extensive sunscreen use, which can limit vitamin D synthesis. Additionally, individuals consuming a low-cholesterol diet, those on medications that bind fats, or those with fat malabsorption issues are at risk for insufficiency as cholesterol is a precursor to vitamin D formation.
