It plays a key role in helping the body absorb calcium and phosphorus, which are important for maintaining healthy bones and teeth. This compound is often associated with conditions related to vitamin D deficiency, such as certain bone disorders and low blood calcium levels. Ergocalciferol is derived from plant sources and is distinct from vitamin D3, which is typically sourced from animals.
