Vitamin D3 1000iu 30Veg Caps

Vitamin D3 is an important and valuable supplement for those who want to properly support their bodies. All Viridian vitamin D products are of the highest quality to ensure effectiveness and easy absorption. While most forms of vitamin D3 come from animal sources, Viridian's vitamin D3 is vegan – it is derived from lichen.

Vitamin D contributes to the maintenance of normal bones, teeth, muscle function and immune function. Vitamin D contributes to normal absorption/utilisation of calcium and phosphorus. The classic vitamin D deficiency disease is rickets. Yet as fear of sun-exposure has grown and lifestyles have become more sedentary, exposure to the sun has dropped dramatically and vitamin D deficiency and the incidence of rickets has surged.

The skin cannot create vitamin D if covered in sunscreen or clothing, it is thought that a sun cream with SPF15 will reduce the skin’s ability to synthesize vitamin D by more than 95%. Many older people and those from the Asian community who tend to wear more modest clothing are amongst the population groups most likely to suffer deficiency in vitamin D. Dietary sources include fortified foods, eggs and fatty fish. Most commonly available vitamin D3 supplements are derived from the lanolin in sheep’s wool. Organic Vitamin D Veg Caps from Viridian Nutrition provides vegan vitamin D3 derived from mushrooms.
