Nova Vitae Vitamin D3 1000IU/25mcg veganNova Vitae is the first company to have developed an absolute natural, plant-based, and vegan vitamin D3.
Firstly, the active ingredient, vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol), is made from algae.
Since Vitamin D3 is a fat-soluble vitamin, and functions as such in the body; it is therefore logical to offer this vitamin D3 in fat.
Sunflower oil was chosen because the production of this oil is the least environmentally impactful.
The capsule resembles a gelatin softgel, but through a unique, still relatively unknown production process, it is possible to produce a fully plant-based capsule using tapioca starch (also known as cassava), vegetable glycerin*, and water.
One might expect these new developments to come with a significant price tag, but precisely because of its simplicity, quality has also become affordable.
* The vegetable glycerin comes from sustainably produced palm oil.
Safe dosage:
The Health Council already adjusted the safe standards for the use of vitamin D3 in 2012.
Currently, for ages 10 and above, 25 mcg is considered a safe dosage.
Potentially higher dosages depend on skin color, sufficient or insufficient exposure to sunlight, and possibly wearing a veil or covering clothing.
You can always ask your doctor for a blood test to check your vitamin D levels and adjust your dosage accordingly.
This product is guaranteed free from: gluten, eggs, milk and/or dairy products (lactose), soy, fish and/or fish products, crustaceans, celery, mustard, peanuts and nuts, sesame seeds, preservatives, and synthetic fragrances, colors, and flavors.
This product is suitable for both vegetarians and vegans.
