The vitamin D secreted by algae is dissolved in cold-pressed olive oil to improve absorption. The size of the capsules makes them easy to swallow, but they can also be chewed. The phytocapsule is colored with a little low-fat cocoa powder. Research has shown that D-Pearls have good absorption.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt has previously been possible to get vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol) from plants and yeast, which vegetarians and vegans could consume, but research (Shieh A, et al. 2016) has shown that vitamin D3 is more effective in raising the body's D-vitamin level than D2.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe vitamin D in D-Pearls Green is produced by algae. The algae used is grown under controlled conditions and is approved as food and commonly used in food globally. However, D-Pearls Green do not contain parts of the algae itself; rather, the algae secrete vitamin D3 which is purified. There is no difference between vitamin D3 from algae and vitamin D3 from lanolin.

Vitamin D3 increases the absorption of calcium from food and reduces the excretion of calcium from the body. Since our skeleton acts as a reservoir for calcium therefore our bones become depleted if our calcium intake is insufficient.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVitamin D3 supplements can also help maintain healthy muscles and nerves, as well as a healthy immune system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat's more, studies have shown that vitamin D may stimulate the body's production of anti-viral and anti-bacterial proteins.
