Thank you Dr. John. This video is right up my alley, so to speak. Is Vitamin D3 better than regular Vitamin D? Many thanks for sharing/posting another awesome video episode.

You’re welcome, and I’m glad you’re interested in the topic! To clarify, Vitamin D3 and regular Vitamin D are essentially the same thing in casual conversation, but scientifically, there’s a difference between the two main forms of Vitamin D:Vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol): Found in plant-based sources like mushrooms exposed to UV light. Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol): Found in animal-based sources like fatty fish, liver, and egg yolks, or synthesized by your skin when exposed to sunlight.The reason Vitamin D3 Is Often Preferred:Studies show that Vitamin D3 is more effective than D2 at increasing and maintaining vitamin D levels in the blood. Moreover, D3 stays active in the body longer than D2.(i.e longer lasting). Also D3 is the form your skin produces when exposed to sunlight, making it a more natural option for humans. If you’re supplementing, Vitamin D3 for better absorption and efficacy. Of course, it’s always a good idea to check with your doctor to determine the right dosage for your needs.Apprecaite your support!!
