What does it do?

Ergocalciferol is a fat-soluble vitamin belonging to the vitamin D2 group. It is primarily used in pharmaceuticals to prevent or treat vitamin D deficiency and plays an important role in bone health and calcium metabolism.

Ergocalciferol is converted in the body to active vitamin D, which promotes the absorption of calcium and phosphorus. This helps maintain strong bones and aids in the prevention of skeletal disorders such as osteoporosis.

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

Good to know

Unlike vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol), ergocalciferol is mainly obtained from plant sources. The conversion process and effects in the body are similar, but the sources differ. As vitamin D supplements, the two components are selectively used based on their applications.
