Dry Ergocalciferol Granules are a type of vitamin D2 that promotes the absorption of calcium and phosphorus in the body. It is mainly included in multivitamin preparations to supplement vitamin D deficiency. This ingredient contributes to maintaining bone health and normal metabolic function.

In the body, dry Ergocalciferol is converted to active vitamin D, increasing the absorption of calcium and phosphorus in the intestines. This helps regulate blood calcium levels and aids in the formation and maintenance of bones.
