VITAMIN D

Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin essential for bone health, immune function, and overall wellness. It exists in two main forms:

  • D2 (ergocalciferol) – plant-based
  • D3 (cholecalciferol) – more effective, typically animal-based or synthesized from lichen (vegan-friendly)

The body also produces vitamin D naturally when the skin is exposed to sunlight (UVB rays).
