Product FAQs – Vitamin D3 1000 IU from Lichen Extract

1. What is Vitamin D3 and why is it important?

Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) is the active form of vitamin D that the body produces in response to sunlight. It plays a crucial role in calcium absorption, bone health, immune regulation, hormone balance, and muscle function. Research also links optimal vitamin D levels to reduced risk of respiratory infections, improved mood, and enhanced reproductive health.

2. Why is this Vitamin D3 sourced from lichen?

Unlike most D3 supplements derived from sheep’s lanolin, this product uses lichen, a sustainable, plant-based source of D3. It is 100% vegan, suitable for vegetarians and those with dietary or religious restrictions, and provides bioavailable cholecalciferol, identical to what the body makes from sun exposure.

3. How much Vitamin D3 does each capsule contain?

Each capsule provides 1000 IU (25 micrograms) of Vitamin D3, which is a safe and effective daily dose for most individuals to maintain optimal serum 25(OH)D levels, particularly during autumn and winter months or in those with limited sun exposure.

4. Who should consider taking this supplement?

This supplement is ideal for:

• Individuals with limited sun exposure or darker skin tones
• Pregnant and breastfeeding women
• People with autoimmune conditions or low immunity
• Older adults and peri/postmenopausal women
• Those following vegan or vegetarian diets
• Individuals with low serum vitamin D levels (as identified through testing)

5. Is 1000 IU of Vitamin D3 safe for daily use?

Yes, 1000 IU per day is well within the safe daily intake range recommended by most health authorities, including the UK’s Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition (SACN). Long-term daily use helps maintain stable vitamin D status without reaching toxic levels.

6. Can I take this supplement with other nutrients like calcium or magnesium?

Absolutely. Vitamin D3 works synergistically with calcium and magnesium for bone density, neuromuscular health, and cardiovascular function. In fact, combining them often enhances absorption and efficacy.

7. Is this supplement suitable during pregnancy and breastfeeding?

Yes – vitamin D is essential in pregnancy for fetal bone development, immune programming, and long-term health. This vegan source is gentle, clean, and effective. However, individual needs may vary, so it is advisable to check with your healthcare provider for tailored dosing.

8. How should I take it for best absorption?

Take your capsule with a meal that contains healthy fats, such as avocado, olive oil, or nuts, to maximise absorption of this fat-soluble vitamin.

9. Can I take more than one capsule if needed?

For individuals with diagnosed deficiency, higher therapeutic doses may be recommended by healthcare professionals. This supplement offers flexible dosing – two capsules would provide 2000 IU if advised by a practitioner.

10. Is this product tested and free from common allergens?

Yes, this supplement is tested for purity and potency. It is free from gluten, soy, dairy, artificial additives, and GMOs, and is manufactured to GMP standards.
