Doctor’s Best – Vegan D3
What is Doctor’s Best Vegan D3?
Doctor’s Best Vegan D3 supplies the naturally-occurring form of vitamin D, Vitamin D3. Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) is converted significantly more efficiently to active vitamin D in the body than vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol). Thus, Vitamin D3 the preferred supplemental form of this nutrient. Recent studies have shown that the RDA for Vitamin D of 600 IU daily is woefully inadequate for assuring optimal vitamin D levels. Research suggests that a minimum daily intake of higher doses are needed to ensure levels are optimal enough to promote health.
How does it work?
Vitamin D from dietary intake or sun exposure requires two activation steps in the body. The first activation occurs in the liver, while the second activation occurs in the kidneys, allowing for regulation of calcium metabolism. Vitamin D receptors are present throughout the body, in tissue such as the skin, cartilage, heart, prostate, bones and intestines so the second activation step also takes place in local tissues. Vitamin D plays a role in most organs and systems of the body. It is hormone-like, known to interact with over 200 different genes, and plays a crucial regulatory role as a metabolic activator for a multitude of metabolic processes. It acts as a “molecular switch” by influencing the expression of multiple genes. Therefore activated vitamin D not only influences bone health, but is involved in supporting the function of the immune system, cardiovascular system, respiratory system and the musculoskeletal system.
Why should I take Doctor’s Best Vegan D3?
While best known for its role in helping absorption of calcium, Vitamin D3 has numerous benefits. Over the last several years research has focused on critical functions of this vitamin and the role it plays in most organs and systems of the body. Vitamin D deficiency is prevalent with more than 75% of Americans deficient in this nutrient. A major source of Vitamin D is sunlight but use of sunscreen, limited time in the sun and skin color are factors that make getting sufficient Vitamin D from the sun challenging. Doctor’s Best uses vitamin D3 which is more efficient at converting to active vitamin D in the body.

Honestly, I was looking for what was wrong with me. I was constantly tired no matter how much sleep, caffeine, food, water, etc. Even after seeing my psychologist, nothing seemed to help me. I decided to give it a whirl and I’m seriously blown away. It gave me energy and more! I can work much longer than I would remember and I don’t yawn as much throughout the day. I really recommend if you feel your energy is running out and you don’t know why. Thanks for making this suitable for vegans. I would buy it absolutely without a doubt.

After learning what normal D3 (mutton fat) is made of, I couldn’t bear the thought of taking any more and had to switch to D3 made with vegan ingredients. I’ve tried a few brands of vegan D3 (the others also had K2 added for absorption) and this one is cheaper (because there’s no K2?) and seems to work well until here. It seems to be a quality product. The capsules are small, easy to swallow and contain white powder.

This is a quality D3 supplement, with an excellent list of ingredients, small pills and packaging, perfect dosage for immunity support and bone health, tasteless to counter the d3 deficiency due to lack of sunlight. The absorption effect is also excellent. No problems to report. Will buy this product again.

fast delivery, easy to check the bill of lading and take the initiative, you can rest assured when ordering, but the package is not very neat because it is a pill, so it’s ok

The size is perfect because the capsules are small. It improves immunity. The packaging was intact. I am very satisfied with the fast shipping and we can track the order as well. For international shipments it is very fast. I will be ordering again in the near future.

After adopting a vegan lifestyle, I searched for the best vegan vitamin D3 and this came up at the top of my list. I have been using this brand for years even since. I’m sure the ingredients are clean because it’s vegan. Lightweight packaging which is great as I take it between the office and home from time to time. I learned that most people are deficient in Vitamin D3, so taking it daily gives me peace of mind.

I really like this product. I was surprised to find that the vitamin D3 I was taking was made from lanolin which is wool fat. Although I am not a vegan, I prefer not to consume wool fat. It may be a coincidence but I think I feel better since taking Doctor’s Best D3.

I am a vegetarian who needs extra D3 so these vegetarian capsules are a good solution for me. Don’t forget to add Omegas because D3 is a fat-soluble vitamin. The packaging is strong and moisture resistant, and the caps are small and easy to swallow. Good price and quality!

Vitamin D3 is crucial, especially in countries where there are not adequate levels of daylight/UV during the colder months. Easy to swallow, good size, choose this as it’s a great option for those who are acne prone like me
