What it is

Cholecalciferol is a form of Vitamin D, often called Vitamin D3. It can be produced from plant sources like lichen, making it suitable for vegan diets. This vegan form is typically made through a process that extracts and modifies compounds from these plant sources.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add vegan cholecalciferol to fortify foods with Vitamin D, which is important for calcium absorption and bone health. It is commonly found in plant-based milk alternatives, nutritional drinks, and snack bars, especially those marketed towards health-conscious consumers or vegans.

Health notes

In the US, cholecalciferol is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a nutrient. The FDA also permits it as a food additive under specific regulations. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated vitamin D, and both have established acceptable daily intakes. Typical dietary intakes are unlikely to cause adverse effects, but very high doses can lead to health issues.

Allergen info

Vegan cholecalciferol is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
