In presence of ultraviolet rays of sun Cholesterol in skin is converted to Cholecalciferol. then in Liver it get converted to 25 Cholecalciferol. then in kidney, it get converted to 1,25 Cholecalciferol. Which is active form of Vitamin D. Also called as Calitriol. If execass of Vitamin 'D' is ingested as in Cod Liver intake, then body converts it into 24, 25 cholecalciferol, which is almost inactive form of Vitamin 'D'. You have almost no Vitamin 'D' in diary food or any other food. So almost all people have subclinical vitamin 'D' deficiency, except people living in polar area. (Who almost never get heart attack.) so Vitamin 'D' should be added by government in food. Calcitriol deposites calcium salt in bones, enhance absorption of calcium salts from intestine, Reabsorbs calcium ion from kidney.
