	Vitamins : Cholecalciferol (Vitamin D3)
		Cholecalciferol is the most widely known of the vitamin D series and is a fat soluble vitamin that is stored to some degree in the body.
		Cholecalciferol is transferred to the liver where it is converted to calcifediol (25-hydroxycholecalciferol), which is then transferred to the kidneys and converted to calcitriol (1,25-dihyroxycholecalciferol, thought to be the most active form) and 24,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol.
		Cholecalciferol and ergocalciferol are hydroxylated in the liver by the enzyme vitamin D 25-hydroxylase to form 25-hydroxycholecalciferol (calcifediol) and 25-hydroxyergocalciferol respectively.

		Cholecalciferol is the naturally occurring form of vitamin D. Whenever I use the term "vitamin D," I am referring to cholecalciferol.

	Cholecalciferol
		Cholecalciferol increases the serum calcium concentrations by: increasing GI absorption of phosphorus and calcium, increasing osteoclastic resorption, and increasing distal renal tubular reabsorption of calcium.
		Normally, epidermal cells that are exposed to sunlight will produce cholecalciferol which is then bound to a serum vitamin D binding protein and transported to the liver.
		In the liver, cholecalciferol is metabolized to 25-hydroxycholecalciferol which is the major form of vitamin D in the circulation.

		Cholecalciferol with or without calcium carbonate, and gliftor together with 0.5% cinnamon oil and 0.02% acid brilliant green dye, were blended into a mixture of ground maize, pollard, and sugar (used by Animal Control Products to manufacture the RS5 Possum Bait).
		For cholecalciferol and gliftor 10 - 15 g of bait is lethal to possums.

		Although this molecule is generally plentiful in skin, reduction with aging can diminish cholecalciferol production, necessitating vitamin D supplementation in the elderly.
		Cholecalciferol leaves the dermal cells to be picked up by DBP (vitamin D binding protein) when sites on the protein are available.
		Excess vitamin D is toxic, but toxicity can only arise from vitamin supplements; it is not believed that toxicity can arise from ingestion of natural sources of vitamin D. Toxicity from excess vitamin D supplements arises from overproduction of the active metabolite, calcitriol, and its exaggerated effects.

	Dynamic Chiropractic: New Study Confirms Value of Vitamin D Supplementation in the Adjunctive Treatment of Prostate ...
		The good news is that the ingestion of 2,000 IU of vitamin D (cholecalciferol) is nontoxic, and the associated blood level rise in 25-hydroxycholecalciferol resulting from the ingestion of this dosage of vitamin D supplementation, which is usually in the range of 50 nmol/L, is well within normal limits.
		The most recent study to investigate the use of cholecalciferol in the treatment of prostate cancer was published in Nutrition and Cancer in 2005, by TCS Woo and fellow researchers.1 In this study, 15 prostate cancer patients were given 2,000 IU (50 ug) of cholecalciferol daily and monitored prospectively every two to three months.
		The key aspect of the work presented by TCS Woo and fellow researchers is that the common form of vitamin D (cholecalciferol), which is readily available from retail outlets and other sources, may be the most useful form of vitamin D to use in the prevention and treatment of prostate cancer.

		What is Vitamin D? Vitamin D (cholecalciferol) is a pre-hormone that has long been known for its important role in regulating body levels of calcium and phosphorus, and in mineralization of bone.
		In humans, Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) is converted from it's basic building block (cholesterol) when ultraviolet light hits Pro-Vitamin D (a squalene metabolite) in the cells of our skin.
		It does not occur in humans, is only half as potent as cholecalciferol, has been associated with most of the Vitamin D toxitity cases.
