D-Pearls Phyto are small, soft plant-based capsules with 38 mcg (1520 IU) of vitamin D3 in each capsule. 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.
D3 is the form of the vitamin that is synthesized in the skin when we are exposed to sufficient amounts of sunlight or a similar type of UV-radiation. Vitamin D from sunlight is an effective vitamin D source but is only produced when the sun is high in the sky. In large parts of Europe (at latitudes above 37 degrees north), this only happens during the summer period, and therefore we can only produce sufficient levels of the vitamin in the summer months.
The 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. They are chemically identical.
Safety and quality
At Pharma Nord's factory in Vojens we produce both pharmaceuticals and dietary supplements, which makes it possible to carry out the same control procedures for dietary supplements as for pharmaceutical products. Both dietary supplements and medicines are examined according to a carefully determined plan - which ensures that the products contain what the specification says. This gives consumers assurance that the individual D-Pearl contains the amount of vitamin D that is listed.
