Vitamin D3 plays a key role in our health: it contributes to strong bones, proper muscle function, and immune system support. Yet, a large part of the population is deficient, especially in winter when sun exposure decreases. As a premium ingredients distributor, our challenge is to provide a natural, whole-food and Clean Label vitamin. Traditionally, vitamin D3 is extracted from lanolin (the fat from sheep’s wool). But today, there is a plant-based and sustainable alternative: D3 Bio and Organic Plant-Based from Cladonia rangiferina lichen.
A plant-based alternative: Cladonia rangiferina lichen
At LC Ingredients, we chose a different path: a 100% plant-based vitamin D3 sourced from the boreal lichen Cladonia rangiferina. This lichen grows in pristine environments and naturally contains cholecalciferol, the active form of vitamin D3. Our extraction process is eco-friendly, free from chemical solvents, and guarantees a pure, bioavailable, and certified organic vitamin D3. We are proud to be the first to offer this innovation in a liquid format, making supplementation easier and more versatile for your formulations.
