Guest guest Posted November 29, 2004 Report Share Posted November 29, 2004 I believe D3 id from lanolin (sheeps wool). Is this correct? D2 is from a vegan source - not sure what.

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2004 Report Share Posted November 30, 2004 Vitamin D-2 comes from irradiated yeast, while vitamin D-3 is found in fish liver oils. The oil from sheep is not vitamin d-3, that is lanolin, which is in many lotions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless of their " sometimes, occasionally, once in a while " stuff... D3 in food products is coming form fish oils. I would love to see hard evidence (such as a written statement from the manufacturer of a product) that they are using lanolin or cow brains as their D3 source.

Guest guest Posted December 1, 2004 Report Share Posted December 1, 2004 I still don't believe that... I still believe their D3 would come from fish oils (although that is still sick enough). I will contact the company myself and see what they say. I will post their response when I get it.

Guest guest Posted December 1, 2004 Report Share Posted December 1, 2004 Actually, vitamin D-3 can be derived from sheep's wool. Here's what the Vegetarian Journal's Guide to Food Ingredients (http://www.vrg.org/catalog/fing.htm) says: Vitamin D Also known as: calciferol, ergocalciferol (vitamin D-2); cholecalciferol, activated 7-dehydrocholesterol (vitamin D-3). Commercial Source: animal (sheep wool, fish), fungal. Vitamin D-2 is made on a commercial scale from yeast. D-2 may be used to fortify milk, butter, margarine, breakfast cerials, infant dietary formulas. D-3 synthesis begins with cholesterol from oily wool. Most vitamin D in vitamin pills is in the form of D-3. Foods, including milk, may also be fortified with D-3. Some vitamin D in vitamin pills and foods (including milk) may be derived from fish oil. Exists in: fish oil, fish organs, egg yolks. Used in: Milk, butter, infant dietary formulas. Definition: A vitamin which is essential for the normal development of bones and teeth. TYPICALLY VEGETARIAN Product Information: Rhone-Poulenc, a manufacturer of vitamin D-3, begins its synthesis with cholesterol from oily wool. I hope this helps.

Guest guest Posted December 3, 2004 Report Share Posted December 3, 2004 Are you saying that you think 8th Continent's d3 comes from fish oil, or *all* d3 comes from fish oil? The vitamin companies I've contacted have said their D3 comes from lanolin, including the Whole Foods' private line.
