Last updated: 9 Dec 2025
Most people know and are familiar with vitamins C, A, or E, but did you know that Vitamin D is also very important to your body?
️Vitamin D (Calciferol) consists of a group of fat-soluble cecosterols. There are 2 main forms:
️Vitamin D2 (Ergocalciferol) found in plants and yeast. The body cannot synthesize it on its own.
️Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol) found in fish oil and egg yolks. And the body can synthesize it in the skin.
Both types of vitamin D remain inactive in the body until they are converted into active forms in the liver and kidneys.
️ The role of vitamin D
️ Who is at risk of vitamin D deficiency?
️ Low vitamin D can be treated by giving vitamin D in the form of a dietary supplement that adjusts the dosage to the individual (Customized supplement) which is either oral or injectable. Depending on the needs of each person which the doctor will choose as appropriate. This makes the treatment more effective compared to buying vitamins to take yourself.
Additionally, you should find time to go out and expose the sunlight for 10-15 minutes a day to stimulate your body to naturally synthesize vitamin D.
