Ergocalciferol

Ergocalciferol, also known as vitamin D2, is a form of vitamin D that is important for maintaining healthy bones and promoting calcium absorption in the body. It is typically derived from yeast or fungi and is used as a dietary supplement for people who may not get enough sunlight or have difficulty absorbing vitamin D from food. Ergocalciferol helps prevent conditions like rickets in children and osteomalacia in adults. It plays a vital role in overall health, supporting the immune system and potentially reducing the risk of certain diseases.
