Botanycl Vegan Vitamin D3 is a Vitamin D supplement that is essential to support a healthy immune system. Research shows we are not getting enough of this vital nutrient. Symptoms of vitamin D deficiency are common. There just isn\\\'t enough available in the diet. Between October to April, the sun is too weak for the skin to produce any vitamin D, and depending on where we live, we may not be able to rely on a summer full of sunshine. Furthermore, most of us work indoors. Research suggests we need to supplement year round in order to get the amounts required to support our immune system. Botanycl\\\'s Vegan Vitamin D3 comes from lichen, the only known plant-based source of vitamin D3. Most vitamin D on the market is either in the form of vitamin D3 derived from sheep\\\'s wool or vitamin D2 made synthetically or from fungus. But vitamin D2 and vitamin D3 are not equal. Vitamin D2 is different to the vitamin D3 made by our skin after exposure to sunlight. Research shows that vitamin D3 (also known as cholecalciferol) is more bioavailable and better utilised by the body and converted into bioactive vitamin D, providing far superior benefits than vitamin D2. Studies have shown that it\\\'s vitamin D3, not D2, that maintains levels of Vitamin D in our body even over the winter months. Most experts now believe that the only form that should be used is vitamin D3. Vitamin D is essential for many areas of health and wellness, including immune function, hair & skin health, teeth and muscle health. Vitamin D is fat-soluble, so Botanycl provide the D3 in a base of coconut oil and high oleic sunflower oil for superior absorption.
