Description
Vitamin D3 is a fat-soluble vitamin which can either be ingested from food or manufactured by the body as a result of sunlight falling on the skin. Food sources of vitamin D include fatty fish such as mackeral, herring and salmon. Mushrooms contain small amounts of vitamin D, although this is the D2 form, which is less bioavailable to the body than the D3 form.
Factors that increase vitamin D requirement include low consumption of fish, and low exposure to direct sunlight. It is adviseable for those regularly working inside buildings to monitor their vitamin D3 levels regularly, to check if supplementation is needed. Vitamin D3 supplements are also popular for use during the darker months of the UK, when sunlight exposure is reduced.
This vegan Vitamin D3 supplement is made from natural lichen, a type of fungi that develops from algae. Lichen contains incredibly concentrated amounts of vitamin D3.
