What form of vitamin D does this contain?
This formula provides vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) sourced from lichen, one of the few plant-based sources of D3.
Why does this formula contain vitamin K2?
Vitamin D plays a role in calcium absorption. Vitamin K2 (as menaquinone-7) sourced from fermented chickpeas is included to support normal calcium metabolism in the body*.
Why does this formula contain beef liver?
Desiccated beef liver provides naturally occurring vitamin A and trace nutrients that participate in normal vitamin D metabolism and utilization in the body*.
Why does this formula contain coconut flesh oil?
Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that is normally consumed and absorbed alongside dietary fats. Coconut flesh oil powder is a stable, food-based source of fat included for this reason.
How does this formula differ from typical vitamin D supplements?
Most vitamin D supplements use D3 synthesized from lanolin, a byproduct of sheep's wool. Ours is sourced from lichen, one of the only organisms that naturally produces vitamin D3 through sunlight, the same biological process as human skin. Our formula also contains fermented K2 from chickpeas alongside other nutrients commonly found in vitamin D-rich foods. This keeps our formula as close to nature as possible and supports the body's normal handling of nutrients.*
