Vitamin D is often referred to as ‘the sunshine vitamin’ as it is naturally produced under the skin following exposure to sunlight. During winter periods we can’t make vitamin D from sunlight because the sun is too low in the sky. Because it’s difficult to get enough vitamin D from food, Public Health England recommend supplementation of vitamin D to maintain bone and muscle health.

Whereas most vitamin D3 supplements on the market are derived from the lanolin in sheep’s wool, Viridian Vitamin D3 capsules provide vitamin D3 in a vegan form derived from lichen.

Vitamin D contributes to the maintenance of normal bones, teeth, muscle function and immune function. Vitamin D also contributes to normal absorption/utilisation of calcium and phosphorus.
