Brand: Deva Nutrition Product Code: 66000 Description Features Supplement Facts References Vegan Vitamin D - 800 IU (ergacalciferol) Scientists have found that people who live in cool climates -whether omnivore, vegetarian or vegan- are more prone to lower Vitamin D levels due to insufficient sun exposure. All this is in spite of the fact that some fish contain vitamin D and, most milk, cheese, and ice cream are fortified with Vitamin D for those who follow an omnivore or a vegetarian diet. For vegans rules are the same. People who do not get adequate sun exposure or Vitamin D fortified/rich foods should be more careful about Vit D supplementation.* People with limited sun exposure and darker skin may also consider supplementation, especially if they are homebound and live in Northern Latitudes.*Since Vitamin D is also an important factor in healthy bone metabolism maintaining normal Vitamin D levels is recommended by many nutritionists and health professionals.*DEVA Vitamin D is 100% animal free, and guaranteed for purity, freshness, and labeled potency.
