How it works
Think of vitamin D3 as a key hormone precursor — your body converts it into an active form that helps regulate calcium absorption for strong bones and supports your immune system's ability to fight off infections [NIH ODS]. It works by binding to receptors throughout your body, influencing the function of your muscles, nerves, and even your mood [NIH ODS].
