The main function of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D for bone mineralisation is to maintain the calcium-phosphate product in the circulation, which allows passive mineralisation of collagen bone matrix.

Vitamin D in clinical practice

Both D3 and D2 precursors are hydroxylated in the liver and kidneys to form 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D), the non-active 'storage' form, and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25(OH)2D), the biologically active form that is tightly controlled by the body.

The authors found that the results were similar whether they measured 25-hydroxyvitamin D or 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D.

This substance is ultimately converted into the active form of vitamin D called 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (calcitriol) in the liver.

(Only blood levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D, not 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D, were linked to the risk of polyps.) However, above-average levels of vitamin D didn't reduce the risk of polyps in people who took the placebo.

Vitamin D may help fight Crohn's disease

When the highest energy ultraviolet light, called UVB, penetrates the skin, it converts a precursor into vitamin D, which becomes 25-hydroxyvitamin D in the liver, and is then activated to 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D in the kidneys.

Soaking up the D's

The 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D concentration is unreliable for making a primary diagnosis of hypovitaminosis D because it depends on the activity of 1a-hydroxylase (which converts 25-hydroxyvitamin D into the active 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D), which is regulated by calcium, phosphate, and parathyroid hormone (PTH).

This study aimed to determine whether endogenous 25-hydroxyvitamin D and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D levels are related to all-cause and cardiovascular mortality.
