Guo J, et al. - Experts aspired to explore whether consumption of dairy drinks fortified with either 25-hydroxycholecalciferol [25(OH)D₃] or cholecalciferol (vitamin D₃) had differential effects on 24-h circulating plasma 25(OH)D₃ concentration (a marker of vitamin D status) and cardiometabolic risk markers. Compared to the dairy drink fortified with vitamin D₃, the dairy drink fortified with 25(OH)D₃ was more effective at raising plasma 25(OH)D₃ concentrations postprandially in men with suboptimal vitamin D status.
