Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between vitamin D2 and vitamin D3?
Vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol) is derived from plant sources, while vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) is primarily derived from animal sources. Both forms can raise serum 25(OH)D levels and have similar functions, but vitamin D3 is generally considered more effective at increasing and maintaining these levels.
Can I get enough vitamin D from sunlight alone?
Sun exposure can help the body produce vitamin D, but the ability to synthesize vitamin D from sunlight depends on various factors such as the time of year, latitude, skin pigmentation, and use of sunscreen. In some cases, it may be necessary to supplement with vitamin D to meet the recommended intake.
