How is vitamin D produced in the skin?

The production of vitamin D in the skin begins when UVB rays from the sun hit the skin. This initiates a chemical reaction that converts 7-dehydrocholesterol in the skin into vitamin D. This process depends on the intensity of sunlight, skin pigmentation, and a decreasing ability to produce vitamin D with age.
