Summary
Treasure Your Health Vegan Vitashine™ Vitamin D3 is a high-strength 2,500iu 1-a-Day Capsule. It is allergen-free lichen-derived formulation suitable for vegans and vegetarians, and for people on kosher or halal diets.Vitashine™ was the first vegan vitamin D in the form of cholecalciferol (Vitamin D3) rather than ergocalciferol (Vitamin D2). This is a major boost for vegans and those on halal and kosher diets, as D3 is the preferred form of vitamin D. It is the D3 form of Vitamin D that is produced naturally by your skin when exposed to sunlight of sufficient strength.
Until lichen-derived vegan Vitashine™ the only vitamin d3 available in supplement form was manufactured from animal sources, mainly from fish oils or from lanolin, a wax secreted by the sebaceous glands of sheep.
The majority of people in the UK are deficient in Vitamin D, especially by the time winter arrives and levels stored in the summer sunshine have been depleted.
Due to the northern latitude of the UK, sunshine is only able to produce significant amounts of vitamin d3 in your skin from April to September. However, the cloudy and unpredictable weather, and our indoor modern lifestyles count against us producing a sizeable store of Vitamin D3 even over the summer months.
Add to this modern western diets containing high levels of processed and nutrient deficient food, plus people losing their ability to manufacture Vitamin D as they age and it is no wonder that people struggle to reach or maintain optimal vitamin d levels.
Vitamin D is required for the metabolism of calcium and phosphorus, enabling you to properly absorb these minerals from your food. Calcium and phosphorus are in turn vital to maintaining healthy bones, teeth, and muscles.
Vitamin D helps you to maintain a healthy immune system, protecting against infection by viruses. Vitamin D helps your skin and mucosal surfaces provide a natural protective barrier. It also stimulates your immune response at a cellular level, activating your body’s defence mechanisms to kill bacteria and viruses.
Most respiratory tract infections occur during winter months when levels of vitamin d stored during the summer months have been depleted and not replaced.
Vitamin D Frequently Asked Questions
Should I take my Vitamin D3 with or without food ?
Many fat-soluble vitamins (A, E and K) are better absorbed with food. However, Vitamin D3, although also fat-soluble, is absorbed well without food. Therefore Vitamin D3 supplementation can be taken with or without food.
What is the maximum recommended daily dose of Vitamin D ?
The Institute of Medicine recently increased their safe upper limit for adults to 4,000iu per day.
How can I find out if I am deficient in Vitamin D ?
Your GP can arrange a simple blood test to determine the level of vitamin d in your blood. Your GP can then recommend a suitable level of supplementation according to the results.
Can I get all my Vitamin D from sunlight ?
Due to the northern latitude of the UK, the sunlight we receive is only strong enough for your skin to synthesise vitamin d during the months of April through to September. The ultraviolet B (UVB) rays in sunlight that trigger production of vitamin d are not transmitted through glass, so sitting in a sunny room does not stimulate vitamin d production (nor does watching reruns of Death in Paradise on the tv!); you need to be in direct sunlight. The amount of vitamin d produced is also affected by the time of year, time of day, clothing, sunscreen, cloud cover, pollution levels and darkness of skin.
Which foods are naturally high in Vitamin D ?
There are very few foods with significant amounts of Vitamin D. The best sources are fatty fish such as salmon, tuna and herring. Smaller amounts are found is cheese and egg yolks. For vegans wishing to increase their vitamin d levels naturally through food, some mushrooms contain Vitamin D2. Some fortified foods such as bread and milk have vitamin d added.
What is the Best Before Date?
A best before date is written onto the base of the tub. This shows how long the capsules will remain in pristine condition with the tub unopened.
The Best Before date for our current stock is shown in the footer at the bottom of the purchase table on this webpage.
The best before date is the end of the month shown, and should not be confused with a Use By date. A best before date is a conservative estimate of when the capsules still in pristine state, but generally most capsules will be fine to use after their best before date.
