Description

Previtamin D2 is a chemical compound that is the natural form of vitamin D. It is found in human skin and can be converted to vitamin D3 by exposure to sunlight or artificial ultraviolet light. Previtamin D2 has been shown to have anti-cancer properties and may have potential as a dietary supplement. Previtamin D2 has been used for the treatment of dry skin, although it has not been approved for this use.

Previtamin D2 can also be used in analytical chemistry as an intermediate in the production of vitamin D3 from cholesterol. It can be used as a sample preparation reagent when chromatographic science
