What is ergosterol ？

Ergosterol (ergosta-5,7,22-trien-3β-ol) is a mycosterol found in cell membranes of fungi and protozoa, serving many of the same functions that cholesterol serves in animal cells. Because many fungi and protozoa cannot survive without ergosterol, the enzymes that synthesize it have become important targets for drug discovery. Ergosterol in humans nutrition, ergosterol is a provitamin form of vitamin D2; exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light causes a chemical reaction that produces vitamin D2.

What are the benefits of ergosterol?

What is the function of ergosterol powder?

It’s a 5,7-diene oxysterol, is the most abundant sterol in fungal cell membranes, where it regulates permeability and fluidity.

Why is it called provitamin D?
It is also called provitamin D2. It is a white crystalline organic solid having molecular formula C28H44O. It is converted by ultraviolet irradiation into ergocalciferol, or vitamin D2, which is important for proper bone development.

Drug Warning
Vitamin D is excreted into breast milk in limited amounts. A direct relationship exists between maternal serum levels of vitamin D & the concn in breast milk. Chronic maternal ingestion of large doses may lead to greater than normal vitamin D activity in the milk & resulting hypercalcemia in the infant.
