Vitamin D contributes to the maintenance of normal bones, teeth, muscle function and immune function. Vitamin D also contributes to normal absorption/utilisation of calcium and phosphorus.
Vitamin D is often referred to as ‘the sunshine vitamin’ as it is naturally produced under the skin following exposure to sunlight. During winter periods we can’t make vitamin D from sunlight because the sun is too low in the sky. Because it’s difficult to get enough vitamin D from food, Public Health England recommend supplementation of vitamin D to maintain bone and muscle health.
Dietary sources of vitamin D include fortified foods, eggs and fatty fish. Whereas most vitamin D3 supplements on the market are derived from the lanolin in sheep’s wool, Viridian Vitamin D3 capsules provide vitamin D3 in a vegan form derived from lichen.
Contains 100% active ingredients, formulated by expert nutritionists with no artificial fillers and no nasties. Sourced according to Viridian’s strict ethical criteria including no animal testing, GMO or palm oil.
