Vitamin D is a term used to describe two chemical compounds having equivalent activity, Ergocalciferol (vitamin D2) and Cholecalciferol (vitamin D3).
Ergocalciferol, found in yeast and fungi, and cholecalciferol, found in humans, are formed when certain chemical agents are exposed to ultraviolet light. The richest food sources of vitamin D are fish liver oils, eggs, and milk.
Cholecalciferol/Yeast Polypeptide is made by a Vitamin D3 complexation with low molecular weight yeast proteins or polypeptides, resulting in a water-dispersible powder, small enough to be absorbed by the skin and enter into its lower strata. It is a cream-colored powder with a slight characteristic odor.
Vitamin D3 is essential for the growth and health maintenance of all human tissues, for calcium metabolism in bone structures, and especially for skin elasticity as we age. The solubility and protein complexation are of prime importance for the utilization of the vitamin. So, in care of this modified vitamin D Cholecalciferol/Yeast Polypeptide absorption is greatly increased, infiltration into the dermal structures is facilitated, and toxicity or irritation potential is almost completely eliminated.Functions
