Detailed explanation-1: -The element that is most common in Vitamin D is CARBON.
Detailed explanation-2: -Vitamin D (D2-ergocalciferol) is a vitamin D supplement available in both prescription and over-the-counter formulations. It is available in oral tablets and capsules, as well as an oral solution. Vitamin D2 comes from plant sources and is the most common form of vitamin D found in fortified foods.
Detailed explanation-3: -In the presence of sunlight, a form of vitamin D3 called cholecalciferol is synthesized from a derivative of the steroid cholesterol in the skin. The liver converts cholecalciferol to calcidiol, which is then converted to calcitriol (the active chemical form of the vitamin) in the kidneys.
