Previtamin D3 is an intermediate in the production of cholecalciferol (vitamin D3).

It is formed by the action of

epidermal layers of the skin.[1][2][3]

The B ring of the steroid nucleus structure is broken open, making a secosteroid. This then undergoes spontaneous isomerization into cholecalciferol, the prohormone of the active form of vitamin D, calcitriol.

The synthesis of previtamin D3 is blocked effectively by

sunscreens.[4]
