Premium Bioactive Ingredients
How are we different?
All our vegetarian vitamin D3 capsules contain a high-quality premium vitamin D3 as the active ingredient, specially manufactured for us without hidden additives – only with MCT coconut oil and natural vitamin E. The active ingredient is characterised by its purity and guaranteed vitamin D3 content. D3 active ingredients very often contain a whole range of sometimes extremely questionable additives that do not have to be declared, such as synthetic vitamin E, ascorbyl palmitate, silicon dioxide, modified starch, sucrose, denatured vegetable oils and maltodextrin. Due to the complex custom-made production according to our specifications, our vitamin D3 is exceptionally pure. It is produced for us by a specialised manufacturer in a complex process.
Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin and can only be absorbed by the body together with fats. Our vitamin D3 powder also delivers the vitamin D3 in an oil base: the vitamin D3 is first dissolved in MCT oil from coconut and then dried into a fine powder. The powder also contains the fat-soluble vitamin E as natural D-alpha-tocopherol. This ensures optimal absorption of vitamin D3 even in capsule form. Both the high-quality, medium-chain fatty acids of the MCT oil and the vitamin E are valuable nutrients in themselves.
To achieve an absolutely even distribution of the vitamin D3 in the active ingredient powder and thus an exact dosage of the capsules, only pure, 100% nanoparticle-free microcrystalline cellulose is used. Common fluctuations in the active ingredient content between the capsules do not occur. Our vitamin D3 powder is also rich in high-quality MCT oil from coconut for better absorption of the fat-soluble vitamin D3. Natural vitamin E protects the active ingredient from oxidation and ensures optimal shelf life.
The only other ingredient used as a pure, natural bulking agent is premium gum arabic (Gummi arabicum). In contrast to microcrystalline cellulose, a widely used synthetic filler often containing nanoparticles, we use a natural food source instead.
For the capsule shells, we use special HPMC capsules which, unlike most other HPMC or pullulan capsules on the market, are 100% free from the controversial but undeclared additives carrageenan and PEG. We use amber glass jars for the packaging of this product.
Effects
Vitamin D
Vitamin D3 naturally occurs almost exclusively in animal sources, particularly in fish, dairy products, eggs and meat. Plants, such as lichens and various fungi, contain only very small amounts of the much less effective form of vitamin D2.
Vitamin D plays a very important role in the body. It is one of the few vitamins that is not absorbed directly from food, but rather produced by skin cells from sunlight. It is not a vitamin in the traditional sense of the word, but rather a pro-hormone. In contrast to many other vitamins, vitamin D is converted into an important hormone which regulates cell functioning and bodily processes. Almost all bodily cells have special receptors for the vitamin D hormone that are dependent on sufficient supply.
Vitamin D is still being intensively researched. New mechanisms of action of this fascinating vitamin are discovered almost every year. So far, the following statements on vitamin D have been released by the EU (EFSA):
Vitamin D contributes to:
- Normal absorption and utilisation of calcium and phosphorus
- Normal calcium levels in the blood
- The maintenance of bones
- The maintenance of normal muscle function
- The maintenance of healthy teeth
- Normal immune system functioning
- Cell division
Dosage
Directions
Take 1 capsule every 20 days with 200ml water with a meal.
Note: Not suitable for children under the age of 7.
Daily Requirements
The contradictory information surrounding daily requirements for vitamin D intake can be confusing. Daily recommendations vary greatly between different organisations and governing bodies.
For example, the EU recommends a daily intake of 200 IU for adults, while the German Nutrition Society (DGE) recommends 800 IU. However, numerous researchers and nonprofit organisations believe that these recommendations are too low and are not enough to prevent deficiency. An intake of at least 1500–2000 IU or 3000–6000 IU are recommended by the American Endocrine Society and the Vitamin D Council (USA), respectively.
Food Supplement
Do not exceed the recommended daily intake. Food supplements are not a substitute for a balanced, varied diet and healthy lifestyle. Keep out of reach of young children.
Storage
Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat.
