A bioavailable D3+K2 supplement made from REAL food, not a synthetic isolate.

Sourcing, testing and encapsulation all happen in an FDA-registered, cGMP-certified facility.

Contains tree nuts (coconut).

the research says

Whole foods repeatedly outperform their isolated nutrients, because nutrients work best in the combinations nature provides.

  • Vitamin D3

    from wild lichen

    Lichen is a fungus/algae organism that makes D3 from sunlight, the same biological process as human skin. Most D3 supplements are made from lanolin, which is highly processed sheep's grease. Yuck!

    Per serving 125 mcg (5,000 IU), 625% DV

  • Vitamin K2

    fermented from non-GMO chickpeas

    Included to support normal calcium metabolism in the body.*

    Per serving 50 mcg

  • Desiccated beef liver

    whole food

    Provides naturally occurring vitamin A which helps D3 work at the cellular level to support normal calcium metabolism.*

    Per serving 150 mg

  • Horseradish tree leaf powder

    whole leaf

    The whole leaf of the horseradish tree, dried and milled rather than extracted down to a single compound.

    Per serving 145 mg

    red algae

    A seaweed that builds its own skeleton out of minerals it draws from seawater, then keeps them in that natural matrix.

    Per serving 50 mg

    coconut

    Vitamin D is fat-soluble and is normally absorbed alongside dietary fat. This is our stable, food-based source of fat.

    The whole ground fruit, not an isolated piperine extract. Included to enhance nutrient absorption.

I can’t believe how incredible the composition of this vitamin D supplement is. There’s definitely nothing like this on the market. Made out of 100% whole foods- a holistic girly’s and holistic nutritionist dream. I’m using this for myself and for my clients too!

I’ve taken so many vitamin D + K2 supplements over the years and most of them either upset my stomach or just didn’t work. This one has actually increased my vitamin d levels on blood work so I can see it’s working and I love that it’s properly balanced. I also have noticed a difference in my mood and energy, especially in the winter. Great product!

questions

whole food vitamin d, answered

The questions people ask before they order. Anything else, reach out and Katie will answer personally.

The formula

What makes this a whole food vitamin D?

Every nutrient in the bottle starts as food rather than a compound isolated in a lab. The D3 comes from wild lichen, the K2 fermented from non-GMO chickpeas, and the rest of the formula is beef liver, horseradish tree leaf, marine algae, rosemary, coconut and black pepper. We believe nutrients should arrive with the cofactors they naturally come with in food, rather than on their own to better support utilization in the body.

Where does the vitamin D3 come from?

Wild-harvested lichen. Lichen is one of the few natural organisms that makes vitamin D3 from sunlight, which is the same biological process your own skin uses.

Is vitamin D3 from lichen as good as vitamin D3 from lanolin?

They're both technically cholecalciferol, but they don't come from the same place. Lanolin D3 starts as grease scraped from sheep's wool, then goes through industrial solvent extraction and chemical conversion to get to a usable vitamin. Lichen D3 skips all of that: lichen is one of the only organisms on earth that makes D3 directly from sunlight, the same way your own skin does. No wool grease, no synthetic conversion step, just a plant-based organism doing what it's always done.

What is the difference between vitamin D2 and vitamin D3?

D2 (ergocalciferol) comes from plant and fungal sources like irradiated yeast. D3 (cholecalciferol) is the form your skin makes in sunlight and it's what's in this bottle. Research shows D3 raises and sustains blood levels more effectively than D2, which is why our supplement uses it.

Why is there vitamin K2 in a vitamin D supplement?

Vitamin D helps your body take up calcium, and K2 is included to support normal calcium metabolism in the body.* Hence why this formula pairs so well with our Whole Food Calcium. The K2 here is MenaQ7® menaquinone-7, produced by fermenting non-GMO chickpeas.

Why does a vitamin D supplement contain beef liver?

Desiccated beef liver is a whole-food source of naturally occurring vitamin A, specifically retinol, the active form your body can use directly.* Vitamin D doesn't work alone: its receptor has to pair with a partner receptor that vitamin A activates before your cells can actually respond to it. Without enough usable vitamin A, vitamin D's effects fall short even when blood levels look fine. Liver provides that vitamin A in the same active form your body would make from an animal source, not the beta-carotene form most people convert poorly.

Is this vitamin D vegan or vegetarian?

No, it is neither. The vitamin D3 itself is plant-sourced from wild lichen, but this formula also contains desiccated beef liver, so it is not suitable for vegetarians or vegans.

Why is there coconut in it?

Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin, meaning it is absorbed alongside dietary fat. Coconut flesh oil powder is a stable, food-based source of fat to help with absorption. It also means this formula contains tree nuts.

Taking it

Should I take vitamin D with food?

Yes. The label's suggested use is one capsule daily with food.

Is it better to take vitamin D in the morning or at night?

Either works, consistency matters the most.

How long does one bottle last?

A month. There are thirty capsules in a bottle and the suggested use is one capsule daily. Subscriptions save 10% every 30 days, 15% every 60 days or 20% every 90 days. They ship free, and you can skip, pause or cancel from your account at any time.

Sourcing and testing

Where is it made, and how is it tested?

Our supplements are made and encapsulated at an FDA-registered, cGMP-certified facility in Hauppauge, New York. Every batch is tested by our manufacturer for potency, ingredient identity, microbial safety and heavy metals, then independently third-party tested for heavy metals and microbial safety. Certificates of Analysis and third-party lab reports are available on request. Orders ship from a fulfillment center in New Jersey.
