The Vegan Sunny D3
- Supports calcium absorption and bone health*
- A vegan source of vitamin D3
- Sustainably sourced from algae
Did you know?
As microalgae grows with sunlight, it consumes carbon dioxide and releases oxygen for us to breathe.
Research and benefits
View all researchSupports bone health
Adequate intake of vitamin D is essential to maintain healthy bones. Vitamin D is necessary for calcium and phosphorus absorption, which is why it is a major component of bone health.* Ingesting adequate calcium and vitamin D throughout life as part of a well-balanced diet may reduce the risk of osteoporosis.

Produced from the sun
Vitamin D is found in our diet, but we also produce it through exposure to sunlight. However, a number of factors impact the ability for people to get necessary levels of vitamin D through sun exposure. Regional factors that prevent people from getting sun exposure include cloud cover patterns, smog, and the angle with which the sun hits the earth. In cities north of 37 degrees latitude (imagine a line drawn between San Francisco and Richmond, VA), it’s hard for people to produce enough vitamin D from sun exposure, especially between the months of November and March.

Helps keep your immune system strong
Several placebo-controlled studies have shown that vitamin D can regulate the growth and function of immune cells, which are critical for a healthy immune and inflammatory response. In one study, participants who were given 2,000 IU of vitamin D saw a higher concentration of the immune cells responsible for strengthening our bodies’ natural defense system.*

Smarter formulas
Tested in the U.S.
To produce our vegan D we use a multi-step extraction process without the use of hexane or other harsh solvents. Our D3 then undergoes comprehensive testing for toxins and compounds that can grow in the same water-based environment as our algae.
Better
ingredients
Our vegan D contains vitamin D3 produced from non-GMO algae grown on farms in Europe. Algae is a rapid-growing plant with little to no negative impact on its local environment, making it one of the most sustainable and responsible farmed food sources available.
