Apparently the body converts it to the form it needs. If you google it, you should be able to find sources of D2 online. Of course, sunshine is the best source of all, but lacking during winter months in northern climates.

A vegan diet with plenty of good fat from raw or boiled nuts, ground flax seeds, quinoa etc. is definitely a healthy choice. I would love to know where to get vitamin D2 supplements, as I take 4000 to 8000 IU per day - and it's vitamin D3, which is a product or byproduct of the slaughterhouse!

Most never even crack a nutrition book throughout their training, much less take a course on nutrition. Nurses are required to. Doctors? Nope. Unfortunately, too many people assume because their doctor said something, that they must be right. That just isn't always the case. If you don't feel comfortable with advice your doctor has given you, always seek another opinion. When it comes to nutrition, consult a registered dietician.
