A high-strength, plant-based Vitamin D supplement derived from Lichen, a type of fungi containing cholecalciferol, the most bioavailable form of this essential vitamin.
Vitamin D is a vital nutrient which is essential for the development of healthy bones, joints, teeth and muscles.
It helps the body to absorb essential minerals like calcium and phosphate, which are important for our body’s normal development. It also gives the immune system a boost.
The most natural way to get Vitamin D is from sunshine. Spending time outdoors helps the body to create its own Vitamin D. However, if you don’t live in a climate where there is year-round sunshine, you may need to rely on your diet or supplements to get the Vitamin D you need.
That’s where Lily & Loaf can help. Our new Hi Strength Vitamin D supplement can help you get your daily recommended intake. It is derived from Lichen, a plant-based wholefood which contains cholecalciferol, the most bioavailable (easily absorbed) form of Vitamin D.
Many Vitamin D supplements are made from Lanolin, the oil that sheep and other wool-bearing animals secrete to coat and protect their wool. While vegetarians can take Lanolin-based supplements, they are not an option for those who follow a vegan lifestyle. Lily & Loaf Hi Strength Vitamin D is a vegan-friendly way to ensure you get this vital nutrient even when the sun doesn’t shine.
Vitamin D supports several vital functions within the body. It helps you to absorb and store calcium in your skeletal tissue and regulate the cells which build and maintain healthy bones. It helps recycle the calcium in your kidneys so it can be reabsorbed rather than lost when you urinate. It also helps your digestive system to absorb calcium and other key nutrients from your diet.
A Vitamin D deficiency can lead to a string of health problems, including soft bones or conditions such as rickets in children, and bone problems such as osteomalacia in adults. Your body makes around 90% of the Vitamin D it needs when the skin is exposed to direct UV light from sunshine, meaning you must get the remaining 10% from your diet. This can be challenging, especially for vegans, because there are very few foods that contain sufficient Vitamin D. Oily fish, red meat, liver and eggs yolks all do, but if you follow a vegan diet, these are a no-no.
Lily & Loaf’s vegan-friendly Hi Strength Vitamin D can help you top up your diet – and your sunshine intake – to make sure you get enough.
One of the many benefits of getting enough Vitamin D is it supports a healthy immune system. You can give this a boost with Lily & Loaf Antiox immune, a powerful vegan-friendly combination of antioxidants including Vitamin C, zinc and selenium, which contribute to the normal function of the immune system and protect your cells from oxidative stress. Antioxidants play a vital role in helping fight degeneration and ageing both at a cellular level and within each body system.
We all require a healthy diet, with plenty of fruit and vegetables, as well as the right supplements to ensure we can make the most of their protective benefits and help us maintain good health.
