Pure & Essential Vegan Vitamin D3 is a natural algae extract that provides cholecalciferol – the most biologically active form of vitamin D that is easily absorbed by the body and taken up into the bloodstream.


Vitamin D exists in two forms: ergocalciferol (vitamin D2) and cholecalciferol (vitamin D3). Vitamin D3 is the form naturally produced in the body, is the most biologically active form and is better absorbed and utilised by the body. Most vegan vitamin D supplements provide vitamin D as D2 ergocalciferol, but thanks to a new plant-based extract from algae, vitamin D3 is also available to followers of a vegan diet (most D3 is sourced from lanolin, derived from sheep’s wool).


Around 50% of the UK adult population are estimated to have insufficient levels of vitamin D, with yet lower concentrations found in those following vegetarian and vegan diets. Whilst most vitamin D is produced via skin exposure to the sun, UV rays are not adequate to maintain 'sufficient' status year-round in the UK. Furthermore, most food sources are of animal origin (fish, meat, eggs, dairy), leaving vegans in the UK at a higher risk of deficiency. Supplementation is therefore considered to be the most effective way to optimise consistently healthy blood levels throughout the year.


Offering an easy solution for vegans to maintain optimal vitamin D levels, Pure & Essential Vegan Vitamin D3 supports the healthy balance of calcium in the body, as well as the health of bones, muscles, the immune system and so much more. Small tablets deliver 1000iu of vitamin D3, suitable for everyday use year-round. 

As vitamin D3 is synthesised in the skin via exposure to sunlight, our production capacity is impaired when sun exposure is limited. Supplementation is therefore considered to be the most effective way to optimise consistently healthy blood levels throughout the year.

Vitamin D3 is a hormone-like vitamin that, as well as playing a role in cell division, contributes to normal muscle function and to the normal functioning of the immune system. Vitamin D3 is best known for the role it plays in supporting healthy bones and teeth and this is because vitamin D3 is required to maintain normal blood levels of calcium. As a fat-soluble vitamin, the body can struggle to expel vitamin D3 if taken in high amounts for too long. Any excess vitamin D3 is converted by the liver to a pre-hormone, which can cause high levels of calcium to develop in the blood, a condition called hypercalcaemia. As such, a daily intake of 1000 - 2000iu is considered optimal for ensuring that an ideal vitamin D3 to calcium ratio is maintained, thus preventing potential issues surrounding abnormally high levels of calcium that can result from regular intake of high dose vitamin D3.

Great

I recently purchased Pure & Essential's Vegan Vitamin D3, and I'm happy with my choice. Finding a plant-based D3 supplement can be challenging, but this algae-derived option is perfect. The small tablets are easy to swallow, and I love that I'm getting the most bioavailable form of vitamin D.

Well-tolerated vitamin D supplement

So far so good. I have struggled to find a Vitamin D supplement that I can tolerate - those I've tried have led to nausea and vertigo. I've been advised by my doctor to take 4000iu a day. I'm building these up very slowly and so far can take one at lunch and one with dinner without any side effects.
