Your skin makes vitamin D3 via exposure to direct sunlight. Plants get their nourishment from the sun as well, which inspired us to create a vitamin D3 supplement that is completely free of animal sources or byproducts: not in the 100% vegan capsule, nor in the nutrient inside.


For vegans and vegetarians, getting the right nutrition can pose unique challenges. So we created a vegan-friendly 125 mcg Vitamin D3 formula.

Vegan Vitamin D3 Benefits

Promotes cognitive health & healthy bone density

Helps maintain a healthy immune response

Contains absolutely no animal by-products

Getting Enough of the Sunshine Vitamin

Vitamin D is called the sunshine vitamin because your skin manufactures it when exposed to sunlight, but that shouldn’t be your only source. A vitamin D supplement goes a long way.

We recommend about 125 mcg (5000 IU) to 200 mcg (8000 IU) of vitamin D3 a day. If your multivitamin already delivers 25-75 mcg (1000–3000 IU) of vitamin D, vitamin D3 125 mcg (5000 IU) is perfect for achieving optimal levels.

Your skin produces vitamin D when in direct sunlight, but you should not get your vitamin D from unprotected sun exposure or indoor tanning devices. Supplementing with vitamin D goes a long way towards inhibiting deficiency: we recommend about 125 mcg–200 mcg of vitamin D3 a day. If your multivitamin already delivers 25 mcg–75 mcg of vitamin D, Vitamin D3 125 mcg (5000 IU) is perfect for achieving optimal vitamin D levels.

Cognitive health

Vitamin D is important for maintaining cognitive health and function as you age. Healthy serum vitamin D levels have been shown to correspond with better scores on cognitive health tests and better maintenance of cognitive ability in aging individuals.

Bone and immune health

Vitamin D (along with vitamin K and essential minerals) is essential for facilitating the transport of calcium into the bone matrix. This is an important step in maintaining strong, healthy bones and teeth. Vitamin D also plays a critical role in healthy immune function.

Heart health & already-healthy blood pressure support

Vitamin D helps to regulate the body’s calcium balance while facilitating calcium absorption into the bloodstream, promotes a healthy inflammatory response, and encourages healthy endothelial function. Vitamin D also helps inhibit excess renin levels. Healthy renin levels help maintain healthy blood pressure already within the normal range.

Getting enough vitamin D

This vitamin D3 supplement delivers 125 mcg of vitamin D3 as cholecalciferol per capsule. We suggest that you take a 25-hydroxy vitamin D blood test after 3 months to assess and adjust your dosage. Your optimal blood levels should be 50–80 ng/ml year-round.
