Good for the Immune System
 BIOBENE® VITAMIN D Vegan is a valuable dietary supplement developed by experts.
Vitamin D contributes to the function and maintenance of the immune system, 
as well as the maintenance of normal bones, 
the maintenance of normal muscle function
the maintenance of normal teeth
100% PLANT-BASED VITAMIN D STRENGTHENS THE IMMUNE SYSTEM Research findings confirm:
The function of the immune system is related to vitamin D levels. The human body can produce vitamin D through the skin with sufficient sun exposure. However, from October to March, the hours of sunlight in European countries (northern hemisphere) are not sufficient for this. The body's own vitamin D synthesis is almost impossible – resulting in vitamin D deficiency.
 VITAMIN D IS SUPPORT FOR VITALITY AND GOOD DEFENSES
 Vitamin D significantly contributes to the support and maintenance of normal bones, normal muscle function, and the maintenance of normal teeth. It regulates calcium and phosphate metabolism, thereby promoting the mineralization and hardening of the bones. In addition, it is involved in many metabolic processes in the body (such as muscle metabolism, infection defense).
BIOBENE® VITAMIN D Vegan is a valuable dietary supplement to compensate for vitamin D deficiency and to support the immune system. For a long time, vegan vitamin D was only available as vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol), which had to be converted by the body with great effort. Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) was mostly of animal origin and therefore not vegan. From now on, the proven BIOBENE® VITAMIN D Vegan is available with an improved formula and 100% plant-based vitamin D3V®.
 100% PLANT-BASED VITAMIN D3V®
 BIOBENE® VITAMIN D Vegan contains purely plant-based vitamin D3, also known as D3V®, which is made from algae. D3V® is similar in chemical structure to animal-derived vitamin D3 and impresses with particularly high quality, purity, and bioavailability. This plant-based vitamin D3 can be optimally absorbed by the body directly — without prior conversion. Vitamin D3 from algae is more stable and better available compared to vitamin D3 from lichen.
 Reference Values for VITAMIN D
 Vitamin D is stated in µ (micrograms) or international units (IU). 1 µ equals 40 IU or 1 IU = 0.025 µ.
The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) published a new “Scientific Opinion” in 2012 for the safe intake of vitamin D with maximum levels of 100 µ/day, which would be 4,000 IU for persons aged 11 and above, and children up to 11 years 50 µ/day = 2,000 IU. U.S. studies recommend for adults and seniors an intake of 1,500 to 2,000 I.U. of vitamin D per day. The German Nutrition Society (DGE) states a new D-A-CH reference value of 20 µ vitamin D per day (which is 800 I.U.).
The trend clearly goes toward higher vitamin D intake recommendations.
The special feature of BIOBENE® VITAMIN D Vegan is the purely plant-based origin of vitamin D3 - cholecalciferol - from algae. Both the capsule shell and content contain no animal ingredients. Thus, BIOBENE® VITAMIN D Vegan is particularly suitable for vegetarians and vegans.
BIOBENE® VITAMIN D Vegan was certified by the Vegan Society of Austria and is entitled to bear the European Vegan Label; also certified by the Vegan Society, UK.
