Is your Vitamin D3 & K2 suitable for vegans?Updated 2 months ago
We offer both vegetarian and 100% vegan versions of our Vitamin D3 & K2 supplements.
Standard Vitamin D3 & K2 products (vegetarian, not vegan)
Our standard Vitamin D3 & K2 products are suitable for vegetarians but not suitable for vegans:
Vitamin D3 & K2 (1000 IU) – Contains 25mcg (1000 IU) vitamin D3 + 100mcg vitamin K2. The vitamin D3 is derived from lanolin, a natural wax extracted from sheep's wool.
Vitamin D3 & K2 (2500 IU) – Contains 62.5mcg (2500 IU) vitamin D3 + 200mcg vitamin K2. The vitamin D3 is derived from lanolin.
Vitamin D3 & K2 Oil (100ml) – Liquid form containing vitamin D3 from lanolin. Suitable for vegetarians, not suitable for vegans.
These products are acceptable for vegetarians because lanolin is obtained from sheep's wool without harming the animal, but they are not suitable for vegans as they are animal-derived.
Vegan Vitamin D3 & K2 (100% plant-based)
Vegan Vitamins D3 and K2 2500 IU – 100% suitable for vegans and vegetarians
Our vegan version contains:
62.5mcg (2500 IU) vitamin D3 – sourced 100% from algae
200mcg vitamin K2 (MK-7) – naturally fermented from Bacillus licheniformis
Unlike standard vitamin D3 supplements which are derived from lanolin (sheep's wool), our vegan vitamin D3 is sourced entirely from algae, providing a bioavailable source of vitamin D3 without any animal-derived ingredients.
Why algae-derived D3?
Algae-derived vitamin D3 is:
100% plant-based – suitable for vegan and vegetarian diets
Chemically identical to lanolin-derived D3, offering the same bioavailability
Ethically sourced – no animal by-products required
Environmentally sustainable – algae cultivation has a lower environmental footprint than animal agriculture
Free from pesticide residues – unlike lanolin extraction which may involve pesticides used on sheep
Which strength should I choose?
Our vegan D3 & K2 is currently available in 2500 IU strength only.
If you require a lower dose, we recommend consulting your GP or registered healthcare practitioner to discuss whether taking the 2500 IU capsule less frequently (e.g., every other day) would be appropriate for your individual needs.
Why we offer both versions
We've worked for many years to formulate a vegan D3 & K2 product that matches our high standards whilst remaining price competitive. Algae-derived vitamin D3 is more expensive to source than lanolin-derived D3, so we offer both options to suit different budgets and dietary preferences.
Both versions:
Deliver vitamin D3 and K2 in the right balance for bone health and immune system support
Are manufactured in the UK to GMP standards in our ISO:9001 and ISO:14001 accredited clean room facility
Undergo third-party testing for purity and quality assurance
Provide the same bioavailability
How vitamin D3 and K2 work together
Vitamin D3 enhances calcium absorption from the gut, while vitamin K2 helps direct calcium to the bones (where it's needed) and prevents it from accumulating in soft tissues such as blood vessels. This synergy is essential for optimal bone health and cardiovascular protection.
