Viridian Vitamin D3 1000 IU (30 or 90 capsules) contains vitamin D3 sourced from lichen, a plant-based source. Each capsule provides 25 mcg (1000 IU) vitamin D3. The recommended dose is 1 to 2 capsules per day with a meal, and with a choice of two pack sizes, there is a suitable pack for both short- and long-term use. The capsules are suitable for vegans and practical for daily use by adults and young people aged 16 years and over.
Vitamin D3 is one of the forms of vitamin D and belongs to the fat-soluble vitamins. The chemical name is cholecalciferol. It occurs in a limited number of foods and is also available as a supplement.
Vitamin D is naturally found in, among others, eggs and oily fish such as salmon, sardines, and mackerel. In addition, vitamin D is added to some foods, such as margarine and certain plant-based dairy alternatives.
The vitamin D3 in this product is derived from lichen. Many vitamin D3 supplements contain vitamin D3 from lanolin, the fat from sheep's wool. Because lichen is a plant-based source, this product is suitable for vegans.
Lichen is a life form that arises from a collaboration between a fungus and an alga or cyanobacterium. Lichens grow on, among other things, rocks, tree bark, and soil, and are used as a plant-based source of vitamin D3.
Vitamin D2, also known as ergocalciferol, is derived from yeasts and mushrooms. Vitamin D3, also known as cholecalciferol, usually comes from animal sources. The vitamin D3 in this product comes from lichen and is therefore plant-based.
Vitamin D3 is a fat-soluble vitamin. This means that the substance dissolves in fat and not in water, just like for example vitamins A, E and K. That is why the manufacturer advises taking the capsules with a meal, preferably one that contains fat. Think of a breakfast with eggs, yoghurt or bread with butter, or a hot meal with fish, oil or avocado. By always taking the capsule with the same meal, it also becomes a fixed part of your daily routine.
