D3 from Lichen – A sustainable plant-based source of Vitamin D3 derived from lichen that is suitable for both vegans and vegetarians. Lichens are a unique group of plant like organisms consisting of a symbiotic relationship between a fungus and algae. Lichens are found all around us, growing on sides of trees, on rocks, etc. In order for lichens to protect themselves from harmful sun damage, they naturally produce Vitamin D as a protective mechanism. Lichen-based Vitamin D3 is known for being free from toxins and other contaminants. It is the same natural form of D3 that our body produces to protect our cells when exposed to sunlight, making this a highly absorbable source of vitamin D3.
