D3 is cholecalciferol----the kind our skin makes and the
kind you get from
fish oils
D2 is ergocalciferol is plant based. Most milk has D2 added.
I don't know what the difference is in terms of effect, but
D3 is the
preferred kind. And cheap enough. (But be careful if you
take vitamins A and
D---easy to take toxic doses of A.)
You have a wonderful dermatologist!
