Vitamin D is often referred to as \u2018the sunshine vitamin\u2019 as it is naturally produced under the skin following exposure to sunlight. During winter periods we can\u2019t make vitamin D from sunlight because the sun is too low in the sky. Because it\u2019s difficult to get enough vitamin D from food, Public Health England recommends supplementation of vitamin D to maintain bone and muscle health.<\/p>\n
Dietary sources of vitamin D include fortified foods, eggs and fatty fish. Whereas most vitamin D3 supplements on the market are derived from the lanolin in sheep\u2019s wool, Viridian Vitamin D3 capsules provide vitamin D3 in a vegan form derived from lichen. Viridian D3 has been clinically studied at the University of Surrey and proven to increase blood serum levels of vitamin D.<\/p>\n
Vitamin D contributes to the maintenance of normal bones, teeth, muscle function and immune function. Vitamin D also contributes to normal absorption\/utilisation of calcium and phosphorus.<\/p>\n
Contains 100% active ingredients, formulated by expert nutritionists with no artificial fillers and no nasties. Sourced according to Viridian\u2019s strict ethical criteria including no animal testing, GMO or palm oil.<\/p>\n
