What Is the Difference Between Vitamin D2 and D3 — and Why Does the Multivitamin D+ Contain Both?Updated 3 hours ago

The Codeage Multivitamin D+ delivers 4,000 IU of vitamin D per serving using both Vitamin D2 (Ergocalciferol) and Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol) — two distinct forms of vitamin D that differ in their origin and how they are used in supplements. Together, they make up the full vitamin D content in this formula.

What Is Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol)?

Vitamin D3, also known as Cholecalciferol, is the form of vitamin D naturally produced by the skin in response to sunlight exposure. It is widely used in dietary supplements and is commonly derived from animal or lichen sources.

In the Multivitamin D+, the Vitamin D3 is derived from lichen — making it suitable for vegans.

What Is Vitamin D2 (Ergocalciferol)?

Vitamin D2, also known as Ergocalciferol, is a plant-derived form of vitamin D sourced from fungi or yeast. It has been used in supplements and fortified foods for decades and is also vegan-friendly.

Why Does This Formula Contain Both Forms?

The Multivitamin D+ combines D2 and D3 to deliver a broad-spectrum approach to vitamin D supplementation. Both forms are recognized forms of vitamin D used in dietary supplements worldwide.
