A little while back, the Institute of Medicine shocked many of us when it released its new dietary reference consumption (DRI) for vitamin D. The general opinion from the scientific community could be that the prior DRI of 400 IU was inadequate, understanding that supplementation with at least 1000 IU would be required for most of us to obtain vitamin D sufficiency. The IOM disagreed.

I love Dr. Furhman. Just wish I could afford his supplements. Vitamin D is so hard to find in a vegan formula or one you can trust.

Alexandra, you have changed my life but I must admit going vegan is something I’m finding a challenge. So few vitamins are vegan, and I’m cutting myself slack in that I know this is an ongoing process and won’t happen overnight. Thank you for telling me about these vitamins! Keep up the excellent work!

I’m interested! Finding quality vegan supplements has been difficult for me, and I love having a bit of direction.

Vitamin D3 or Vitamin D2? I usually hear that D3 is the one you are supposed to have. Thanks!

Hi Alex,

This product sounds great. I did not realize that vegans usually have less vitamin D in their diet. I had never heard of this product until today. But, it is great that this is offered. This would most likely be a great benefit for older people with osteoporosis as well since it mentions increasing bone density.

Thanks for the blog on this product!!

Thanks so much for this info Alex! As a breastfeeding mom I am trying to make sure I am educated about this stuff so I can make sure my son & I are getting all the nutrients we need.

I have been taking Vitamin D3 for years because virtually every medical/health source says it’s the best way to get what you need without having to spend time in the sun. But I had no idea that it came from sheep’s wool! How on earth do they extract the vitamin from the wool?
