Description
Vitamin D is converted to its active metabolite via a two-step process. This active metabolite binds to endogenous vitamin D receptors which results in maintaining calcium balance, regulation of parathyroid hormone, promotion of renal absorption of calcium, and increased mobilization of calcium and phosphorous from bone to plasma to maintain balanced levels.
