After reading an article on nutritional issues in vegetarian and vegan children and teenagers, I was wondering what were the production systems of Vitamin D (D2, D3 or analog molecule) used in dietary supplement.

So first, what are the prevalence the different form of vitamin D in dietary supplement?

Second, how these different form are produced? For example, if I know that vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol) could be derived from fish oil, is there other possibilities?

At the end, if the initial question could be related to the compatibility with vitamin D supplement and veganism, a larger question is more linked to the sustainability of vitamin D supplement production.

Thank you very much for your answers.
