Why so Important Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) ?
Why so Important Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) ? Vitamin D3 is fat-soluble, and its absorption in the gastrointestinal tract increases significantly with foods containing unsaturated fatty acids (UFAs), including long-chain omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, which accelerate tissue regeneration, including skin. They improve the skin's function as a protective barrier and are essential components for tissue hormones, such as prostaglandins, and reproductive cells. Fish can partially meet their omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acid needs by producing them from simple NKTs, which they obtain through their diet. However, carnivorous and marine fish should receive additional supplementation of already synthesized omega-3 fatty acids, since their ability to synthesize them is low. Well D3 plays a crucial role in the physiology, osteogenesis, and immune response of Discus Fish (Symphysodon). Unlike many terrestrial organisms, teleost fish do not synthesize significant amounts of vita...
