Dr. Wang Lei
Vitamin D consists of vitamin D3, but does not include vitamin D itself, and has a broader range of functions than vitamin D3. Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin with anti-rickets properties, whose main function is to promote calcium absorption in the intestines, benefiting bones and teeth. Vitamin D3 and D2 are composed of vitamin D3 and D2 respectively, and they have different effects on the human body.
