Although VITAMIN D3 can be synthesized in the skin , it is also a form of vitamin D added to fortify foods. VITAMIN D3 is produced industrially by the irradiation of 7-dehydrocholesterol extracted from lanolin found in sheep's wool. In foods where animal products are not desired, an alternative compound is vitamin D2 derived from the fungal sterol ergosterol.
600 IU per day for all individuals under the age of 70 years-old. For all individuals older than 70 years, 800 IU per day is recommended.
