Vitamin D3

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitamin_D

--Beginning of quote--

Whether it is made in the skin or ingested, vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) is then hydroxylated in the liver to 25-hydroxycholecalciferol (25(OH)D3 or calcidiol) by the enzyme 25-hydroxylase produced by hepatocytes, and stored until it is needed.

Hydroxylation

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydroxylated

--Beginning of quote--

Hydroxylation is any chemical process that introduces one or more hydroxyl groups (-OH) into a compound (or radical) thereby oxidizing it. In biochemistry, hydroxylation reactions are often facilitated by enzymes called hydroxylases.

Therefore, I think that we can conclude that Vitamin D3 is an acid.
