How are we different?
Vegan Vitamin D3
Our Sunferol® D3 Vegan is sourced from pine trees. The pine oil is sustainably obtained as a byproduct of forestry (bark, branches), meaning that pine trees do not need to be cultivated or felled specifically for vitamin D production, as the raw material originates from an existing circular system. This provides a key advantage over vegan vitamin D sourced from algae or lichen, which are grown exclusively for vitamin D production. Unlike resource-intensive algae cultivation, production from pine oil requires neither controlled bioreactors nor artificial lighting or heating systems. Our vegan vitamin D from pine oil can therefore be produced more cost-effectively and with significantly lower energy and raw material consumption.
Absolute Purity: No Hidden Additives
Our branded active ingredient, Sunferol® D3 Vegan, is a bespoke formulation containing high-quality, premium vitamin D3 derived from a completely plant-based source. To ensure optimal dosage and stability, our premium D3 is dissolved in MCT coconut oil. Vitamins D is a fat-soluble vitamin that can only be absorbed by the body when combined with fats, which is why we use a particularly high-quality, coconut-based MCT oil.
The only other ingredient used as a pure, natural bulking agent is premium gum arabic (Gummi arabicum). In contrast to microcrystalline cellulose, a widely used synthetic filler often containing nanoparticles, we use a natural food source instead.
We use special HPMC capsules for the capsule shells, which, unlike most other HPMC or pullulan capsules on the market, are 100% free from the controversial but undeclarable additives carrageenan and PEG. We package this product in amber glass jars instead of plastic to protect the ingredients from light.
Our commitment to uncompromising quality & purity:
- Premium active ingredients as pure isolates & directly sourced from leading global producers
- All formulations crafted exclusively from selected individual raw materials
- Our commitment: zero unnecessary additives, technical excipients or chemical extraction agents
- Voluntary declaration of all non-mandatory ingredients
- Where additives are necessary, preference is given to valuable natural ingredients
- Capsule shells entirely free from carrageenan & PEG
- Systematic quality testing conducted by independent laboratories
- Packaged in amber glass or premium aroma-protective zipper bags designed to protect against oxidation & contaminants
- All products entirely free from magnesium stearate, nanoparticles (without legal exceptions), GMOs, artificial colours & flavours, titanium dioxide
- Added sugar & sweeteners: used only where required for functional or product-specific reasons
Effects
Vitamin D
Vitamin D3 naturally occurs almost exclusively in animal sources, particularly in fish, dairy products, eggs and meat. Plants, such as lichens and various fungi, contain only very small amounts of the much less effective form of vitamin D2.
Vitamin D plays a very important role in the body. It is one of the few vitamins that is not absorbed directly from food, but rather produced by skin cells from sunlight. It is not a vitamin in the traditional sense of the word, but rather a pro-hormone. In contrast to many other vitamins, vitamin D is converted into an important hormone which regulates cell functioning and bodily processes. Almost all bodily cells have special receptors for the vitamin D hormone that are dependent on sufficient supply.
Vitamin D is still being intensively researched. New mechanisms of action of this fascinating vitamin are discovered almost every year. So far, the following statements on vitamin D have been released by the EU (EFSA):
Vitamin D contributes to:
- Normal absorption and utilisation of calcium and phosphorus
- Normal calcium levels in the blood
- The maintenance of bones
- The maintenance of normal muscle function
- The maintenance of healthy teeth
- Normal function of the immune system
- Cell division
Dosage
Directions
Take 1 capsule (3000 IU vitamin D3) daily with 200ml water and a meal.
Daily Requirements
The National Health Service (NHS) recommends a daily intake of 10μg (400 IU) of vitamin D for those 1 year of age and older, inclusive of those pregnant, breastfeeding and at risk of vitamin D deficiency. The NHS recommends a daily intake of 8.5–10μg of vitamin D for babies up to the age of 1 year. However, it is important to note that individual vitamin D needs may vary according to geographic location (sun exposure), dietary habits, genetics and other factors.
Food Supplement
Do not exceed the recommended daily intake. Food supplements are not a substitute for a balanced, varied diet and healthy lifestyle.
Storage
Keep out of reach of young children. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat.

Cofactors
Vitamin K
Together with vitamin K2, vitamin D ensures the normal absorption of calcium and phosphorus into the intestines and is responsible for incorporating them into bones. If a vitamin K2 deficiency exists, the calcium may be absorbed but not fully utilised by the body. The consumption of vitamin K together with vitamin D is important, especially when taking high doses of vitamin D.
Vitamin K2 exists in two different molecular forms, called trans- and cis-forms, which differ in terms of their structures. It is important to ensure that vitamin K2 is consumed in its all-trans form, as this is the only form that can be utilised by the body.
Magnesium
Magnesium is essential for the conversion of vitamin D3 into its transport form and its active hormone form. When a magnesium deficiency is present, the body's ability to carry out this conversion is limited. In order for vitamin D to be effective, a consistent magnesium supply is therefore also required.
Calcium
Vitamin D is responsible for the absorption of calcium in the intestines. Calcium can only be absorbed if it is consumed in sufficient quantities.
Vitamin A
Vitamin D and vitamin A regulate each other.
Zinc
Zinc is needed for the formation of vitamin D receptors.
Product Details
Our in-house production guarantees uncompromising purity and quality. Production, bottling and encapsulation take place in the EU according to our own rigorous specifications and in strict compliance with HACCP, GMP and ISO 22000:2018 standards.
Bespoke liquid formulations, (functional) foods for athletic and daily performance and select exclusive items are produced as high-grade custom preparations by chosen partners who share our commitment to quality, adhering strictly to HACCP, GMP and ISO standards.
In line with our True Clean Label philosophy, we refrain from using artificial additives, colourants and preservatives intended to standardise product appearance. Consequently, formulations containing natural botanical extracts and plant-based raw materials may display subtle batch-to-batch colour variations. These variations stem from natural factors such as harvest timing (seasonal differences between early and late harvests), origin (geographical soil and climate fluctuations) or processing dynamics (variations in particle grind size). Such natural shade shifts may also occur in our plant-based or compressed tablets formulated with premium acacia fibre or nanoparticle-free cellulose and do not constitute a defect in quality.
