Related QuestionsWhere does the vitamin D in Adora come from?
Calcium, Osteoporosis, Vitamin D, Chocolate Health ? FAQ Ado...The vitamin D in Adora Calcium is D2 (ergocalciferol) which is derived from yeast.

While some studies have shown that vitamin D3 is the more “active” form of the vitamin, most D3 comes from fish or lanolin (from sheep), which are not acceptable for many vegetarians. The body makes D3 from exposure to the sun, and can also convert D2 to D3 in the body. There is currently 100 IU of vitamin D2 in every Adora calcium disk.
