Vegan Super Strength Vitamin D3

What is Vitamin D3?

Vitamin D plays a critical role in calcium absorption, muscle function, immune support, and the maintenance of healthy bones and teeth. It’s often referred to as the “sunshine vitamin,” is synthesized when skin is exposed to sunlight, however research shows that your body's capacity to effectively make vitamin D falls by more than 50% between the ages of 20 and 80.

In the UK, sunlight is not strong enough to produce adequate vitamin D between October and March, and modern indoor lifestyles further contribute to widespread insufficient levels, even during summer months.

As many as one in five individuals therefore have insufficient levels of vitamin D and the NHS advises that adults require at least 10 micrograms (mcg) of vitamin D daily to maintain optimal health. This recommendation is especially important for those at increased risk of low levels such as pregnant and breastfeeding women.

Why is ours better?

Vitamin D3 25 µg is ideal for those who don't consume enough dietary sources of vitamin D or are not getting sufficient exposure to sunlight. This formulation uses a plant−based form of vitamin D, produced from photosynthesising algae, making it ideal for anyone following a vegan or plant−based diet. It's chemically identical to animal−origin D3, meaning it provides the same great benefits to your health, immunity and wellbeing. The NHS recommends that everyone should consider taking a vitamin D supplement in winter and that people at greater risk of low levels should do so all year round.
