Benefits
While most vitamin D3 comes from lanolin, which is sheep’s wool, our vegan, whole food vitamin D3 comes from 100% USA grown shiitake mushrooms! When exposed to the sun, the shiitake mushroom has a unique response to sunlight by producing bountiful amounts of vitamin D3.
Vitamin D3 is essential for multiple health benefits, including immune health, strong bones, and cardiovascular health. Our Vegan Vitamin D3 + K2 formula is uniquely whole food sourced from USA grown shiitake mushrooms and chickpeas, providing 5,000 IU of D3 and 90 mcg of K2 for immune and bone support.*
Our chickpea sourced vitamin K2 is the MK-7 form (MenaQ7"), which has been proven to deliver the highest bioavailability. When combined with vitamin D3, our soy-free K2 supports the proper transportation and absorption of calcium into the bones.*
lnulin, a naturally occurring prebiotic derived from Organic Blue Agave, is known to nourish the microbiome, which houses up to 70% of the immune system.
Enzymedica’s Vitamin D3 + K2 is a whole food sourced, vegan, non-GMO solution to your daily vitamin D3 and K2 requirements and includes an extra boost for the microbiome.
The Science
Whole Food Vitamin D from the USA
Did you know that it takes just 10-30 minutes of sun exposure midday to maintain healthy blood levels of vitamin D? Commonly known as the sunshine vitamin, Vitamin D is well-known to support both innate and adaptive immune function as well as nourish strong bones and promote cardiovascular health.* It makes sense that during the darker months of winter when we stay indoors, we are not as exposed to the sun so our skin is less able to manufacture our own vitamin D and we may become more prone to immune challenges.
The Secret of Shiitake
Historically, shiitake mushrooms are used in traditional Chinese medicine to support immunity and encourage “Qi”, the vital life force of the body. All the vitality of the shiitake is found within Enzymedica’s naturally derived vitamin D3 from USA grown shiitake mushrooms. Each whole food capsule provides 5,000 IU D3 that is vegan, easy to digest, and assimilate.
Whole Food Source of K2 from Chickpeas
Vitamin D3 is combined with our soy-free K2 from whole chickpeas. This combination can aid in proper absorption of calcium into the bones by activating osteocalcin.* Our K2 is the MK-7 form called MenaQ7 which has proven to have the highest bioavailability.* MenaQ7 is the only clinically validated vitamin K2 available on the market and has been shown to positively support the cardiovascular system.*
Our vegan vitamin D3 + K2 formula also contains inulin sourced from Organic Blue Agave. Inulin is a dietary fiber which acts as a prebiotic and can influence a healthy digestive system and immune system and has a low glycemic index.*
