Vitamin D3 most effective
The most common forms of vitamin D (calciferol) are vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol) and vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol). Ergocalciferol is a plant form, while cholecalciferol comes from an animal source, but is also produced by humans in the skin under the influence of ultraviolet light, such as the sun (hence the nickname 'sunshine vitamin'). These forms of vitamin D are converted in the liver to the metabolite calcidiol (25-hydroxyvitamin D). Calcidiol is converted to the biologically active hormone calcitriol (1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D) in the kidneys and other cells and tissues as required. In terms of supplementation, however, it is important to note that in most cases vitamin D3 appears to be more effective than vitamin D2 in increasing calcidiol in the blood and ultimately calcitriol.
