Vitamin D is a combination of vitamin D2 & D3 the majority of vitamin D in the body is created during a chemical reaction that starts with sunlight exposure to the skin, Cholecalciferol (vitamin D3) is the animal form of this vitamin, either fish oil or lambs wool.
Vitamin D2 is commonly found in dairy products, fish and eggs, mushrooms contain small amounts of vitamin D2, and some foods may be fortified with vitamin D2, such as breads and cereals. Vitamin D2 helps ensures the absorption of calcium happens in the body producing healthy bones, teeth and to help fight high blood pressure. Vitamin D2 may also help in the fight against osteoporosis and autoimmune diseases, eating a healthy diet should provide enough vitamin D2 to healthy individuals.
Vitamin D3 is the only vitamin the body can manufacture from sunlight (UVB). Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) is obtained through human exposure to direct sunlight. It is considered to be superior to other forms of Vitamin D such as ergocalciferol, which is better known as Vitamin D2.

Your body only needs up to 10 minutes per day to absorb enough daily vitamin d3 but owing to restricted sunlight exposure during the winter months appears to increase the risk of vitamin D deficiency.
In short, Vitamin D3 is the most bio available form of vitamin D. It's what your body synthesises through sunlight and cholesterol to make cholecalciferol, which is not really a vitamin but a hormone.
To maintain healthy vitamin D3 levels, health professionals recommend 1000IU – 2000IU of vitamin D3 per day. (Not vitamin D)
