Which form of Vitamin D is best?

Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin which is naturally present in very few foods. Vitamin D supplements are available in two forms: vitamin D2 (“ergocalciferol” or pre-vitamin D) and vitamin D3 (“cholecalciferol”). While vitamin D2 is produced in plants and fungi, vitamin D3 is produced in animals, including humans. Both these forms (vitamin D2 and D3) are available as over-the-counter (OTC) dietary supplements in medical stores. While vitamin D2 has been used in prescription medicines for a long time, vitamin D3 is also found to be equally effective in boosting vitamin D levels. Hence, irrespective of the form of the supplement, it is advised to ensure your daily intake of this vitamin, either through diet or supplement.
