Vitamin D3 is consumed in the diet and also synthesised by the action of sunlight on cholesterol in the skin and so became known as the sunshine vitamin. Because it can be produced in the body, is transported in body fluids, has specific target tissues and does not have to be supplied in the diet, it meets the definition of a hormone.
