Product Description:

Ergocalciferol is vitamin D2, produced by ultraviolet irradiation of ergosterol from yeast or fungi. Like vitamin D3, it is converted in the liver and kidney to an active hormone that regulates calcium and phosphate absorption and bone mineralisation. It is plant-derived, so it suits vegan diets. However, it raises and sustains blood vitamin D levels less effectively than vitamin D3, which is why D3 is usually preferred where both are available.

The 1.25 mg capsule contains 50,000 IU and is a prescription high-dose product, typically given weekly for several weeks to correct deficiency, then less often for maintenance. It is also used in hypoparathyroidism and in some forms of rickets. Prolonged excess causes hypercalcaemia, with nausea, confusion, polyuria and kidney damage, so calcium is checked with long-term high-dose use.

Sourcing notes. The 50,000 IU capsule is a prescription medicine in the US and several other markets, not a supplement, so registration is required. Generic soft-gel capsules are widely available. The traditional capsule contains tartrazine in some brands, relevant for dye-sensitive patients. Content uniformity at microgram levels and oxidation protection are the key manufacturing controls.
