    synthetic compounds mimicking natural Vitamin D effects in treatments

    Vitamin D Analogues, also known as Vitamin D Derivatives, are synthetic compounds designed to mimic the effects of natural Vitamin D in the body. They are often used in medical treatments to regulate calcium and phosphate metabolism, and are particularly useful in managing conditions like psoriasis and certain types of alopecia, where they help modulate the immune response and promote healthy skin and hair growth.
