What are the benefits of vitamin D3?

Vitamin D3 is a fantastic nutrient that’s essential for our overall well-being and boasts a number of benefits, including:

Contributing to the support of the immune system. What’s more, studies have shown that vitamin D may stimulate the body’s production of anti-viral and anti-bacterial proteins.
Helping to maintain healthy muscles and nerves
Contributing to the maintenence of normal teeth and bones
Helping our bodies absorb calcium

What is vitamin D3?

Vitamin D3 is a fat-soluble form of vitamin D – when you produce this naturally, it’s called cholecalciferol.

We produce vitamin D3 in our skin when exposed to adequate ultraviolet light from the sun. However, our modern lifestyles, which tend to keep us indoors, are depriving us of the sunshine we need. Unfortunately, even the foods we eat rarely contain enough vitamin D3 – if any at all!

Our vitamin D3 supplements are easy to take and specially formulated in gel ‘pearls’. Vitamin D3 is liposoluble (dissolves in oil), so an oil-based formula is best. Our preparation is dissolved in cold pressed organic olive oil to enhance absorption. They contain the cholecalciferol form of vitamin D3.

Who might be deficient in vitamin D3?

So, what are the symptoms of a vitamin D deficiency? Fatigue, hair loss, back and muscle pain, and even depression can be symptoms of a lack of vitamin D3. More than one billion people worldwide are estimated to be deficient in vitamin D3. The UK government recommends a vitamin D3 supplement for several key groups of people, including:

People over 65 years of age
Those with low or no exposure to the sun
Pregnant and breastfeeding mothers
Young children from six months to five years old

What are D-Pearls Green?

D-Pearls Green are small, soft plant-based capsules with 38 mcg (1520 IU) of vitamin D3 in each capsule. The vitamin D secreted by algae is dissolved in cold-pressed olive oil to improve absorption. The size of the capsules makes them easy to swallow, but they can also be chewed. The phytocapsule is colored with a little low-fat cocoa powder. Research has shown that D-Pearls have good absorption.

It has previously been possible to get vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol) from plants and yeast, which vegetarians and vegans could consume, but research (Shieh A, et al. 2016) has shown that vitamin D3 is more effective in raising the body’s D-vitamin level than D2.

The vitamin D in D-Pearls Green is produced by algae. The algae used is grown under controlled conditions and is approved as food and commonly used in food globally. However, D-Pearls Green do not contain parts of the algae itself; rather, the algae secrete vitamin D3 which is purified. There is no difference between vitamin D3 from algae and vitamin D3 from lanolin. They are chemically identical.

How do vitamin D3 supplements work?

Vitamin D is an important daily supplement, but what is the use of vitamin D3? Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the human body, of which our bones and teeth store 99%. Vitamin D3 increases the absorption of calcium from food and reduces the excretion of calcium from the body. Since our skeleton acts as a reservoir for calcium therefore our bones become depleted if our calcium intake is insufficient.

Vitamin D3 supplements can also help maintain healthy muscles and nerves, as well as a healthy immune system.

What’s more, studies have shown that vitamin D may stimulate the body’s production of anti-viral and anti-bacterial proteins. Some experts say they would choose a vitamin D supplement before vitamin C when considering cold and flu protection!

KIND TO OUR PLANET

The lichen for this supplement comes from a designated and sustainable growing site, where it’s able to fully regrow in areas that have been harvested. Often, vitamin D3 supplements are derived from Lanolin, also known as wool yolk, wool wax, or wool grease. This is a wax secreted by sheep glands - a byproduct of the often cruel wool industry. Which is why we always avoid it.

Harvested

Wild lichen is harvested sustainably, without damaging the local fauna, in a clean mountainous region.

Washed

Lichen is washed clean, without using chemicals.

Extracted

The lichen is soaked and the vitamin D oil is extracted naturally, using only pressure.

Micro-Encapsulation

The vitamin D is then small batch, micro-encapsulated using tapioca extract.

Harvested

Non-GMO coconuts are sourced and grown, without pesticides, and harvested at their peak.

Cracked

Coconut chunks are removed from the nut shell.

Dried & Pressed

The chunks are quick dried and pressed to release the oil.

Powdered

The oil is gently turned into a powder using tapioca extract in a unique process that does not use heat or oxygen.

INDEPENDENTLY TESTED SAFE

It's vitally important to us that we can be sure the vitamins we offer to you are free from harmful contaminants and measure up to our high level of quality. That's why every batch we produce is tested and analysed by fully independent laboratories and we make these results available to you. We use only independently accredited laboratories.
