Vitamin D is produced by the body by transforming cholesterol using UVB light. People that worry about skin damage often avoid sunlight and may compensate by taking dietary vitamin D. But since the cholesterol is not being transformed in this case, does this have any known health effects? Or is it just negligible in the grand scheme of things.
