Vitamin D

Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol): Vitamin D3 is synthesized in the skin when it’s exposed to sunlight (UVB radiation). It can also be obtained from dietary sources such as fatty fish, fish liver oils, egg yolks, and fortified foods.
Vitamin D2 (Ergocalciferol): Vitamin D2 is derived from plant-based sources, such as fungi and yeast. It is less potent than vitamin D3 but can still be converted into the active form, calcitriol, in the body through similar hydroxylation processes.
