Vegan Vitamin D Supplements

Vitamin D is an essential nutrient that contributes to the normal function of the immune system, the maintenance of normal bones and teeth, and normal muscle function.

While many vitamin D3 supplements are suitable for vegetarians, not all are vegan. Our vegan vitamin D collection makes it easier to find vitamin D supplements specifically formulated without animal-derived vitamin D sources.

You'll find a choice of strengths and formats, making it easier to select a vegan vitamin D3 supplement that fits into your everyday routine.

What Makes Vitamin D3 Vegan?

Vitamin D3 is also known as cholecalciferol. Traditionally, much of the vitamin D3 used in supplements has been derived from lanolin, a substance obtained from sheep's wool. This means that these products may be vegetarian but aren't generally considered vegan.

Vegan vitamin D3 can instead be sourced from lichen, providing a plant-based alternative suitable for people following a vegan lifestyle.

When choosing a supplement, check the individual product information rather than assuming all vitamin D3 is vegan.

Vitamin D2 vs Vegan Vitamin D3

You may also come across vitamin D2, or ergocalciferol, which can be suitable for vegans depending on its source.

However, vegan versions of vitamin D3 are now widely available, so following a vegan diet doesn't necessarily mean choosing D2.

Our Vitamin D guide explains the different forms of vitamin D in more detail.

Choosing a Vegan Vitamin D3 Supplement

There are a few things worth considering when comparing products:

• the amount of vitamin D provided per serving
• whether the product is clearly labelled as vegan
• the recommended serving
• your preferred format
• any vitamin D you're already getting from other supplements

Vegan vitamin D3 is available in formats including capsules, tablets, liquids and oral sprays, so you can choose whichever works best for you.

How Much Vitamin D Do You Need?

Current HSE advice recommends vitamin D supplementation for everyone in Ireland, although the amount and whether it should be taken seasonally or throughout the year varies according to age and individual circumstances.

Our Vitamin D: Benefits, Sources & How Much Do You Need? guide explains the recommendations in more detail, including guidance for adults, children, pregnancy and people who may need vitamin D throughout the year.

If you're already taking a multivitamin or another supplement containing vitamin D, remember to consider your total daily intake when choosing an additional product.
