NOTES FROM OUR NUTRITIONIST
Vitamin D occupies an unusual position in the supplement world — it is simultaneously one of the most widely recommended and one of the most widely underdosed. The UK government advises 400IU daily for general population health, a figure that most mainstream supplements meet. But for those who are genuinely deficient, or who spend the majority of autumn and winter indoors, 400IU is often insufficient to move the needle on serum levels in any meaningful way. Our formula delivers 2500IU per capsule — a therapeutically relevant dose, grounded in current research, and appropriate for daily use by most healthy adults.
The source matters too. The vast majority of Vitamin D3 supplements on the market are derived from lanolin — a waxy substance extracted from sheep's wool — making them unsuitable for vegans and raising welfare questions for others. Our D3 is sourced from lichen: a remarkable organism born of a symbiotic relationship between algae and fungi, and one of the very few non-animal sources of D3 in nature. It is not simply a vegan compromise — lichen-derived D3 is highly bioavailable and performs comparably to lanolin-derived D3 in clinical research.
Each capsule is delivered in a base of alfalfa, in a plant-based organic hypromellose capsule shell, with nothing unnecessary added. The same standard that runs through every product in the Apothecary 27 range: therapeutically dosed, high absorption, always rooted in nature.
