Origin of the vitamin D
Where does the vitamin D in Aurinko D come from? Vitamin D for medicines, food supplements and foodstuffs is produced with the help of ultraviolet light from a natural starting material obtained from animal-based sources, a cholesterol derivative (7-dehydrocholesterol). This is exactly the same process that takes place in human skin under the influence of sunlight. The vast majority of vitamin D3 products contain vitamin D3 made in precisely this way, as does the Aurinko D food supplement. The vitamin D we use is manufactured by a large European producer. The starting material, dehydrocholesterol, is obtained sustainably from sheep’s wool during shearing – i.e. in an animal-friendly way.
