What does it do?

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

Ergocalciferol is converted in the body into active vitamin D, which helps with the absorption of calcium and phosphorus. This contributes to the formation and maintenance of bones and aids in the prevention of osteoporosis.

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

Good to know

Unlike vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol), ergocalciferol is primarily derived from plant sources. Both components serve the role of vitamin D, but there are slight differences in the body’s conversion processes and efficacy.
