So we can acquire the primordial product (cant remember the chemical name off the top of my head) without sunlight, as long as we have the adequate amounts of the precursor in our diets in the form (i think) of fish and nuts and legumes etc.<br /><br />THen, to get active vit D, the 2 precursors require firstly liver enzymes, then kidney enzymes. So if either organ is dysfunctional, you might not have adequate active vitD.<br /><br />VitD is important for calcium homeostasis. Perhaps furry animals can produce active vit D through their diet as well...??<br /><br />Nic GAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5934951193714789449.post-40757911013258047912009-07-05T11:57:35.118+10:002009-07-05T11:57:35.118+10:00My mate found the answer for me:

Interestingly, mammals and birds then eat the cholecalciferol by licking their fur (grooming) or rubbing their beaks on their feathers (preening). So, when you take cholecalciferol by mouth, you are doing what a number of other mammals do!<br /><br />http://www.vitamindcouncil.org/vitaminDPhysiology.shtmlGarthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10250061149753301406noreply@blogger.com
