Difference between vitamin D2 and D3
Disease description:
I'm in poor health, and my doctor advised me to take vitamin B2. However, my family members suggest taking vitamin B3. What's the difference between vitamins D2 and D3?
Vitamin D2 can be obtained from plant-based foods such as peanuts and other nuts, legumes, and helps the body absorb calcium quickly. Vitamin D3 can be synthesized by the body itself or obtained from animal-based foods such as animal liver and animal skin, and it promotes calcium absorption. Vitamin D3 has a higher utilization value, while vitamin D2 is less toxic.
