What does it do?

Dry Ergocalciferol is a type of vitamin D2 that is used to promote the absorption of calcium and phosphorus. It is primarily included in calcium supplements to support bone health and contribute to the prevention of osteoporosis.

This component increases the absorption of calcium and phosphorus in the intestines, maintaining blood calcium levels. This facilitates a steady supply of calcium necessary for the formation and maintenance of bones.

Approved uses differ by product. Check each product's information for its actual use.

Good to know

Unlike vitamin D3, dry Ergocalciferol is derived from plant sources and is converted into the active form of vitamin D in the body. Although it may be somewhat less effective than vitamin D3, it plays an important role in calcium supplementation.
