Q: What is lichen and why it is a better source?
A: Found on the bark of trees or rock surfaces, lichens are naturally enriched in vitamin D3. The lichen extract contains minimal amount of impurities as lichens themselves are very sensitive to pollution in the surrounding air and water.
Q: Where does vitamin D3 come from in other vitamin D supplements?
A: Most vitamin D3 supplements in the market use sheep's wool as vitamin D3 source by purifying lanolin (wool grease). In contrast, our Vegan Vitamin D3 Drops use a 100% plant-based, certified Vegan source (lichen).
Q: I see other vegan vitamin D products on the shelves. What is the difference?
A: Most other vegan vitamin D products in the market take the form of vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol), a much inferior form to cholecalciferol (D3) due to low bioavailability. Another argument often used against ergocalciferol (D2) is that unlike cholecalciferol (D3) it is made by radiating fungus and therefore regarded as not natural.
Q: Why do babies need vitamin D?
A: Vitamin D is essential for proper development of cells, bones and immunity, and helps the absorption of calcium. Lack of vitamin D in children is a risk for developing rickets, and may contribute to conditions such as autoimmune diseases, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and cancer in later years.
Q: Why vitamin D supplements for babies?
A: Maternal vitamin D deficiency is common in northern hemispheres and is a major risk factor for vitamin D deficiency in infancy. Infants younger than one year of age are especially vulnerable if they are breastfed as breast milk only contains a small quantity of vitamin D. Health Canada & the Canadian Paediatric Society recommend a daily supplementation of vitamin D starting from birth for breastfed infants.
Q: How do I know what type of vitamin D is best to use?
A: Foods may be fortified with vitamin D2 or D3. The recommended form of vitamin D is vitamin D3 or cholecalciferol. This is the natural form of vitamin D that your body makes from sunlight.
Q: What is vitamin D deficiency?
A: Vitamin D deficiency is characterized by impaired bone mineralization. It is classified as a serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25[OH]D) level of <20 ng/mL (50 nmol/L). The consequences of vitamin D deficiency include: bone disease (rickets, osteoporosis, low bone mass).
