Scholze et al. investigate individual UV exposure and 25(OH)D3 metabolism in a one-year observational study. While UV exposure triggers vitamin D3 production, the body strongly modulates the resulting 25(OH)D3 concentrations through 25(OH)D3 synthesis efficiency and degradation, with the seasonal pattern mirroring local temperature fluctuations.
