Message definition (Cholecalciferol)
<!-- Sources and mechanism -->
Cholecalciferol is made in the skin following [[Ultraviolet#Subtypes|UVB light]] exposure. It is converted in the liver to [[calcifediol]] (25-hydroxyvitamin D) which is then converted in the kidney to [[calcitriol]] (1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D). It is found in food such as some [[fish]], beef liver, eggs, and cheese. Plants, cow milk, fruit juice, yogurt, and margarine also may have cholecalciferol added to them in some countries, including the United States.
