Plantforce Vegan Vitamin D3 is extracted from a sustainable source which are Lichens. Specifically, it provides Vitamin D in the form of Vitamin D3 or also known as Cholecalciferol.

Vitamin D, or the "sunshine vitamin," is a fat-soluble vitamin that aids in regulating calcium absorption and is essential for maintaining bone health. Not only that, but it may also help in reducing stress too! (Source: Poseidon)

This dietary supplement in the form of Vitamin D3 provides a natural and organic source of Vitamin D closest to our body's production. In addition, Vitamin D3, as research suggests, is more absorbable compared to Vitamin D2.

High-Quality Ingredients

New supplement companies are popping up every day, and unfortunately more and more are compromising on quality! We never have and never will!

In creating Plant force Vitamin D, we handpick a high-quality source for this fat-soluble vitamin. We ensure that our Vitamin D can be easily absorbed by the body by using MCT oil (medium-chain triglyricides) from coconut that enhance Vitamin D Absorption.

We're Vegan-friendly

Unlike other Vitamin D3 supplements that extract from animals, commonly lamb wools, or fish oils, we extract Vitamin D3 from a unique and organic plant source which are lichens. Lichens are individual plant organisms that comprise a symbiotic relationship of a fungus with algae. Lichens absorb enough Vitamin D3 from the sunlight, which makes them a viable source of Vitamin D3.

Why take Plantforce Vitamin D3?

Over 1 Billion people are deficient in vitamin D3 around the world! Researchers suggest that Vitamin D supplementation is the best option to get the daily requirement. This is because there may be challenges that hinder us from getting enough Vitamin D:

• Sunlight is also limited during Winter Season, specifically from October to March. There is a higher prevalence of low Vitamin D blood levels because of this.
• People who live closed doors or work mainly in the office or remotely from home rarely get enough sunlight
• People who have darker skin have a higher chance of lower Vitamin D levels in the blood because the dark pigment of their skin acts as a shade, thus reducing Vitamin D production.
• People with a body mass index of over 30 are associated with lower Vitamin D levels. This is because fat cells under the skin isolate the Vitamin D produced and hinder them from being used by the body.
• Aging can also decrease Vitamin D production of the skin especially for the elderly. 65-70 years old

How does Vitamin D3 help the body?

Bone strength, teeth & gum maintenance

Vitamin D facilitates the absorption of both calcium and phosphorus by bones, which ensures that bone turnover does not exceed build-up (remodeling). When this happens, our bone strength decreases, and they become weaker. This can ultimately increase the risk of osteoarthritis and osteoporosis. Besides bone, because calcium is also important for tooth mineralization.

Immune function

Every cell in our body contains a receptor for vitamin D! Yes, you heard that right. This includes the immune cells and in fact, the sunshine vitamin has been shown to support an optimally functioning immune system. So much so that it has been approved as an official health claim.

Muscle development

Beyond bones, teeth, and immune function, vitamin D is also believed to play a role in supporting muscle function. This was first discovered in studies linking muscle breakdown (myopathy) to vitamin D deficiency (Source: NCBI ). The cellular mechanisms are not well defined, but it is believed to be related to the vitamin D receptors in skeletal muscle tissue.

Key Health Aspects of Plantforce Vitamin D:

Vitamin D3 can help the body in numerous ways. Here are the benefits of vitamin D3 supplementation:

• May help support bone strength and muscle function
• May help keep healthy teeth.
• May help promote calcium absorption
