Is the Vitamin D3 in the Codeage Multivitamin D+ Vegan?Updated 3 hours ago
The Vitamin D3 in the Codeage Multivitamin D+ is derived from lichen — a plant-based source that makes it suitable for vegans. This is an important distinction, as Vitamin D3 is more commonly derived from lanolin, a substance sourced from sheep's wool, which is not vegan-friendly.
What Is Lichen-Derived Vitamin D3?
Lichen is a composite organism made up of fungi and algae that grows in a variety of environments. Certain lichen species naturally produce Vitamin D3, making them a viable plant-based source for vegan supplement formulations.
The use of lichen as a source of Vitamin D3 — also known as Cholecalciferol — allows the Multivitamin D+ to deliver this nutrient while maintaining its fully vegan formula.
What About the Vitamin D2 in This Formula?
The Multivitamin D+ also contains Vitamin D2 (Ergocalciferol), which is derived from ergosterol — a plant sterol found in fungi and yeast. Vitamin D2 has long been used as a vegan-friendly form of vitamin D in fortified foods and dietary supplements.
Both forms of vitamin D in this formula are vegan.
