Vitamin D3 + K2 (60 capsules)

The lesser-known side of vitamin D ...

Most of us have heard of vitamin D, as it is also called the sunshine vitamin, which our body produces in our skin when exposed to sunlight and UV light. It is produced from cholesterol in the skin.

What most people don’t know, however, is the fact that vitamin D is not a vitamin at all, but a hormone. And not just any kind, but one that contributes to normal blood calcium levels, maintaining healthy bones and muscle function and functioning of the immune system.

We live in a part of the world with very little sun. We enjoy it mainly in the summer. Even then, we avoid sunbathing for other reasons, and most of us also use sunscreen …

Vitamin D can also be taken care of with the help of food and dietary supplements.

The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) also confirms the importance of this sunshine vitamin. According to official and certified documents, vitamin D contributes to:

• the normal absorption / utilization of calcium and phosphorus.
• normal blood calcium levels.
• maintaining healthy bones.
• muscle function.
• maintaining healthy teeth.
• the functioning of the immune system.
• proper cell division.

What forms of vitamin D do we actually know?

There are two forms of vitamin D. These are D2 or ergocalciferol or D3, i.e. cholecalciferol.

D2 is most commonly found in plant sources, but better known is D3, found in fish, eggs, liver, butter, and some types of lichens. Even the skin itself, in contact with ultraviolet rays, forms this version of vitamin, i.e. vitamin D3.

But there is another highly effective solution…

We were were looking for the possibility of obtaining vitamin D3 that would be natural, holistic, environmentally friendly and effective. So we finally found it – high concentrations of vitamin D3 can be found found in lichen.

It is Cladonia rangiferina or reindeer lichen, which contains enough vitamin D3.

At Malinca, we naturally followed to best choice there is – D3 from reindeer lichen.

After all the conversations and taking into account the wishes of customers who want something highly effective and of high quality, and are also aware of the dangers of sunbathing, we decided to offer a dietary supplement in the form of capsules containing reindeer lichen.

Vitamin D3 capsules from Malinca are:

Reindeer lichen has been known for a long time, as data indicating its use can be traced back to the 15th century. In fact, it is a nutritious symbiotic mixture between algae and fungus, which - as its name suggests – is used in the diet of deer.

Lichen is highly resistant to the conditions prevailing in the environment where it grows. It is resistant to cold and survives quite a long time even without water. It contains important nutrients, including vitamin D3.

Its useful value has also been discovered by humans, and today, dietary supplements made from reindeer lichen, such as vitamin D3 capsules, are available.
