VitamoreD | Vegan VitaminD3 | Calcifediol

Take two tablets with or without food daily.

You don't need to take these co-factors with VitamoreD™ as it is the active form of vitamin D allowing the body to absorb and process the vitamin D quickly.

This is because of the way the body needs to break down and process vitamin D. Normal vitamin D supplements come in two forms

• Vitamin D3 - cholecalciferol / Calciferol. Extracted from the oil found in sheep's wool called lanolin.
• Vitamin D2 - ergocalciferol. Extracted from yeast, algae and funghi.

These two forms are the most used. However, they need to be activated for your body to utilise vitamin D. To do this, the vitamin D3 supplements must go through hydroxylation (this is just a fancy word for when our body adds hydrogen oxygen to the vitamin D). This process happens in the liver. This is where the vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) or D2 (ergocalciferol) enters the liver and becomes the activated vitamin D Calcifediol (the active ingredient found in VitamoreD™). When your liver is converting the Cholecalciferol and Ergocalciferol to Calcifidiol, it needs magnesium to help convert vitamin D. Without enough magnesium; this process can be slow, so even if you are increasing your intake of vitamin D3, your body will be slow to uptake and convert. 

Boron, on the other hand, helps by boosting the half-life of Vitamin D and Magnesium. This means it extends the time these nutrients stay active in your body, allowing them to do their jobs longer. 

Fortunately, because you are going to be supplementing with Calcifediol, it is the form before becoming Calcitriol which is what our body uses to create the beneficial effects of vitamin D. As Calcifediol bypasses the step in the liver, it means your body not only rapidly utilises the vitamin D and keeps it consistent for longer.

How awesome is that!

Cholecalciferol, also known as Vitamin D3, is a form of Vitamin D that our bodies naturally produce when our skin is exposed to sunlight. It's also the version commonly found in many supplements and fortified foods.

Calcifediol is the compound your body converts Cholecalciferol into before it becomes the active form of Vitamin D (Calcitriol) that our bodies can use.

This conversion process from Cholecalciferol to Calcifediol in the liver can be slow and sometimes does not work for some people. This means your liver cannot convert even if you get plenty of vitamin D from the Sun or supplements.

By supplementing with Calcifediol, you can bypass this step and create a 'shortcut' to the active form of vitamin D, meaning you will get a rapid and consistent increase in vitamin D.

Yes it is! VitamoreD™ is created from sunshine rich yeast. No additives, nasties or animal products are used in making of VitamoreD™

Vitamin D plays a crucial role in maintaining healthy bones, teeth, and supporting the immune system.

Calcifediol, also known as 25-hydroxyvitamin D, is a type of Vitamin D that can be obtained from dietary supplements. Did you know, our bodies naturally produce it when exposed to sunlight?

VitamoreD is simply a concentrated version of what our bodies produce. Meaning it is packed full of natural sunshine which is safely absorbed. This is why you only need a small amount as it is rapidly absorbed by the body.

VitamoreD is beneficial for people who live in areas with limited access to sunlight, those who need to avoid excessive sun exposure, or those with a Vitamin D-deficient diet.

Yes you can. K2 is recommended due to it's ability to prevent calcium from building up in the blood vessels.

Oral calcifediol results in a more rapid increase in serum
25OHD compared to oral cholecalciferol. Secondly, oral calcifediol is more potent
than cholecalciferol, so that lower dosages are needed.
