OmniVegan D3 is a completely vegan product.
Unlike normal vitamin D-3, which has animal origin and is extracted from lanolin from sheep, OmniVegan D3 has a completely vegetable source of vitamin D. In the past, those who wanted to avoid vitamin D with animal origin were referred to vitamin D2, which is usually synthetically produced and has a lower bioactivity in the body.
Vegetable source of vitamin D3
In OmniVegan D3, vitamin D3 comes from wild lichen. Lichen consists of a fungal part and an algal part that work in symbiosis. The algal part produces sugars with the help of nitrogen, water and energy from the sun. The sponge part receives nutrition from the algae that it protects. This gives the plant unique properties such as the ability to survive under extreme climate conditions and to accumulate useful nutrients such as vitamin D3. In OmniVegan D3, we use specially selected species of lichen that contain high levels of vitamin D3.
Powerful and efficient
OmniVegan D3 has a high content of vitamin D3 with 75 mcg per capsule. To improve the absorption of the vitamin in the body, sunflower lecithin is also added. Vitamin D is a fat-soluble substance and therefore sunflower lecithin with its content of beneficial fatty acids promotes absorption in the body. Lecithin also contains phospholipids, which are important components of the body's cell membranes.
A supplement of vitamin D can be a good addition
We get vitamin D through diet and through the body's own production in the skin when it is exposed to sunlight. However, it is very difficult to get enough vitamin D from the diet. We are therefore dependent on sunlight to meet the body's need for vitamin D. In order for vitamin D to be formed in the skin, it needs to be hit by the sun's UVB rays and this can only happen when the sun's angle is higher than 45 degrees above the horizon. In the Nordic countries, the sun is so high only a few hours a day during the summer months. If the skin is then covered with clothing or with a sun protection factor that blocks the sun's UVB rays, the possibility for vitamin D to form is inhibited. The vitamin D that we produce and that is stored in the body during the summer usually only lasts for a few months.
