Despite the past century’s medical advances, vitamin D deficiency is still a global health problem. Over 1 billion people worldwide are affected by vitamin D whereas around 50% of the global population doesn’t get enough vitamin D. Vegans, and vegetarians may be at an even greater risk of not meeting recommendations for vitamin D intake.
That’s why OneChoice offers unique, vegan-friendly (lichen-derived) Vitamin D3 softgels providing 5,000 IU (125 μg) of vitamin D3 per serving. The formula is enhanced with scientifically proven vitamin D3 synergists that can additionally boost its absorption, bioavailability, and effects in the body, including Vitamin K2(as MK-7), Vegan omega-3s (EPA and DHA)derived from algae, Curcumin, and Piperine*
As natural menaquinone-7 (MK-7)
Vitamin K2 and D3 work very well together to regulate calcium levels in our bodies. Vitamin D3 ensures that dietary calcium is absorbed easily through the gut, while vitamin K2 (MK-7) activates the protein osteocalcin, which integrates calcium into the bone. Moreover, vitamin K2 (MK-7) activates matrix GLA protein (MGP) to bind excess calcium from the blood preventing arterial calcification, promoting arterial flow and flexibility, and reducing the risk of atherosclerosis.
We use vitamin K2, naturally produced by the Bacillus subtilis probiotic bacteria found in natto. Natto, a traditional Japanese food, is the richest source of vitamin K2 MK-7. MK-7 is well absorbed and is the most bioactive form of vitamin K2, as it has a longer half-life than other vitamin K2 forms.*
Algal Omega-3 Fatty Acids
Regular consumption of omega-3 fatty acids(DHA and EPA) can increase the amount of active vitamin D3 levels in the body. Like vitamin D3, omega-3s are also powerful anti-inflammatory agents and immunity boosters – hence, they have additive effects when used together.
Vitamin D3 and omega-3s also have synergistic effects on brain health. Vitamin D3 regulates serotonin production, EPA influences serotonin release, whereas DHA improves the sensitivity of serotonin receptors. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter in the brain that regulates anxiety, happiness, and mood. Low levels of serotonin have been associated with various brain disorders.
We use vegan-friendly omega-3s derived from algae.*
When curcuminCurcumin and vitamin D3 are used together, their effects against inflammation are additive. Curcumin can also directly boost the effects of vitamin D3 by sensitizing vitamin D receptors. When vitamin D receptors are more sensitized, vitamin D3 can easily bind to them and achieve its effects.
Piperine is a natural substance extracted from black pepper (Piper nigrum) and is added to enhance the absorption and bioavailability of all ingredients in the formula.*
