CURATEDFIT SUMMARY
Passes because the manufacturer explicitly states on their product listings that the vitamin D3 is sourced from wool from living sheep only, a direct, unambiguous confirmation rather than an inference from an indirect cue like "suitable for vegetarians." That distinction matters, most Vitamin D3 products found during sourcing for this review made no sourcing claim at all, which under this Standard means the natural-origin criterion stays unconfirmed regardless of how common lanolin sourcing is industry-wide. This product clears that bar directly.
WHAT IT IS
A vegetarian capsule providing Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) sourced from lanolin, the natural wax secreted by sheep, extracted without harming the animal, then converted to cholecalciferol through a purification and UV-conversion process. Available in two strengths, 3,200 IU for regular daily use, and a 20,000 IU high-strength option generally intended for addressing a confirmed deficiency under guidance rather than routine daily use.
WHO IT IS FOR
Someone who specifically wants confirmed natural-origin sourcing on their Vitamin D3, rather than a product where the sourcing is simply unstated and assumed. Also relevant for anyone following halal or kosher dietary requirements, both independently certified for this product.

TRANSPARENCY NOTE
Worth being direct about why this product stands out: explicit, manufacturer-confirmed sourcing on Vitamin D3 is genuinely uncommon. Checking several other brands during sourcing for this review, including live partner catalogues, turned up plenty of Vitamin D3 products, but almost none stated their sourcing method anywhere on the product page. That's not a claim that those products are lanolin-sourced or otherwise, it's simply unconfirmed, and per this Standard, unconfirmed sourcing on a marketed active ingredient can't be waved through as Pass. This product is included specifically because it clears that bar directly rather than by inference.
On dosing: the 3,200 IU strength reviewed here is appropriate for general daily use. The manufacturer's separate 20,000 IU strength is a substantially higher, clinical-range dose generally intended for addressing a confirmed deficiency under medical or practitioner guidance, not a routine daily amount, worth being clear about which strength is actually being purchased.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Why does explicit sourcing confirmation matter this much for Vitamin D3 specifically?
Most Vitamin D3 on the market is genuinely lanolin-derived, but very few brands say so directly on their own product page. Without that direct confirmation, this Standard can't assume it, an unstated sourcing method stays unconfirmed regardless of how common that sourcing method is across the industry generally.
Is this suitable for vegans?
No. Lanolin is an animal by-product (though extracted without harming the sheep), so this is not vegan-suitable, though it is vegetarian-suitable and halal and kosher certified.
Which strength should I take?
The 3,200 IU strength is appropriate for general daily maintenance. The 20,000 IU strength is a high-dose option generally used to correct a confirmed deficiency, best used under practitioner guidance rather than as a default daily choice.
Has this been independently lab tested?
Not confirmed via any of the six specific certifications this review checks.
