Igennus Natural Vegan Vitamin D3 1000IU, Clean Label, 365 Tablets, 100% Plant-Based Algae Cholecalciferol & Non-GMO, Immune, Bones & Teeth, 1-Year Supply

Biologically active vitamin D

Vitamin D exists in two forms: ergocalciferol (vitamin D2) and cholecalciferol (vitamin D3). Vitamin D3 is the form naturally produced in the body, is the most biologically active form and is better absorbed and utilised by the body. Most vegan vitamin D supplements provide vitamin D as D2 ergocalciferol, but thanks to a new plant-based algae extract, vitamin D3 is now available to followers of a vegan diet (most D3 is sourced from lanolin, derived from sheep’s wool).

Optimal daily dose

As a fat-soluble vitamin, the body can struggle to expel vitamin D if taken in high amounts for too long. Due to its role in regulating our blood calcium levels, supplementing with high doses can lead to high levels of calcium in the blood, also known as hypercalcaemia which can lead to fatigue, weakness, sleepiness and headaches.

Pure & Essential Vegan Vitamin D3 provides an ideal daily dose without upsetting the delicate ratio of calcium and vitamin D in the body.

The most effective way to optimise blood levels year-round

A large percentage of the adult population have insufficient levels of vitamin D, with yet lower concentrations found in those following plant-based diets. Whilst most vitamin D is produced via sun exposure, UV rays are not adequate to maintain sufficient status year-round.

Pure & Essential Vegan Vitamin D3 offers an easy solution for maintaining optimal vitamin D levels year-round.

The role of vitamin D in the body

Immune function

Vitamin D3 is a hormone-like vitamin that contributes to strong immune function. Maintaining vitamin D blood levels within the optimal range supports a proper immune response, enabling the activation of immune defences, including T cells and macrophages. Low vitamin D levels are associated with an increased risk of infection and vulnerability to illness.*

Healthy bones & teeth

Maintaining sufficient vitamin D levels is important for normal growth and development of bones and teeth, due to its relationship with calcium and phosphorus uptake. When the balance of vitamin D and calcium is no longer optimal, there is an increased risk for poor bone health.*

Supporting the vital organs

Through supporting optimal calcium balance, the beneficial effects of vitamin D extend also to the central nervous system, the immune system and vital organs.

There are 36 organ tissues in the body whose cells respond biologically to vitamin D, including the intestines, kidneys, lungs, skin, stomach and the uterus. Low vitamin D status can impact all of these organs.*
