What is NeoLife Vegan D?
A vitamin D supplement providing 10 µg of vitamin D per tablet — 200% of the Nutrient Reference Value — in a form suitable for vegans. Most vitamin D3 supplements derive their D3 from lanolin (sheep’s wool); this one does not. It is 120 tablets, one a day, so a bottle is a four-month supply.1
NeoLife calls it a proprietary D3/D2 blend. The D3 comes from lichen; the D2 from mushroom extract and added vitamin D2 — lichen and fungal sources, with no animal-derived ingredients.
What is in each tablet
From the UK nutrition information on the pack. The serving is one tablet a day.
| Per 1 tablet | Amount | %NRV |
|---|---|---|
| Vitamin D | 10 µg1 | 200% |
10 µg is 400 IU in the older unit. The NRV for vitamin D is 5 µg, so a tablet provides twice it. For reference, UK public-health advice is that adults consider a daily supplement providing 10 µg of vitamin D, particularly in autumn and winter — which is exactly the amount in one tablet.1
What vitamin D is authorised to do
Vitamin D carries a clear set of authorised health claims in Great Britain, and at 200% NRV this product comfortably meets the threshold at which they may be used. Vitamin D:1
- contributes to the normal absorption and utilisation of calcium and phosphorus
- contributes to the maintenance of normal bones
- contributes to the maintenance of normal teeth
- contributes to normal muscle function
- contributes to the normal function of the immune system
Those are the permitted wordings, quoted as they must be. Nothing here is intended to diagnose, prevent, treat or cure any condition, and a food supplement is not a substitute for a varied and balanced diet or a healthy lifestyle.
Why the source matters if you are vegan
Vitamin D comes in two forms: D2 (ergocalciferol) and D3 (cholecalciferol). The large majority of D3 supplements get their D3 from lanolin, extracted from sheep’s wool — which is why most vitamin D3 is not vegan, even though the vitamin itself is just a molecule.
Vegan D avoids that. Its D3 is derived from lichen and its D2 from mushroom, so the product is suitable for vegans while still providing D3, not D2 alone. If being vegan is the reason you are looking at this product, the source of the D3 is the specific thing worth checking — and here it is stated on the label.
How to take it
One tablet a day. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. Store somewhere cool and dry, out of reach of children.
120 tablets at one a day is 120 days — four months per bottle, about 21p a day at £25.00. Vitamin D is fat-soluble, so taking the tablet with a meal that contains some fat can help absorption, though it is not essential.
Suitability and allergens
Suitable for vegetarians and vegans — that is the point of the product. No allergens are declared on the UK ingredient list. It does contain mushroom extract (Agaricus bisporus) and lichen extract, which is worth knowing if you have a specific sensitivity to either.
Vitamin D is fat-soluble and stored by the body, so more is not better — stay within the recommended one tablet a day. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, taking prescribed medication or under medical care, speak to your GP or pharmacist before starting any new supplement.

What to compare when buying vitamin D
| What to check | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Amount and %NRV1 | UK advice points to 10 µg a day. This is 10 µg, 200% NRV. Compare the microgram figure, not the IU number on the front alone.1 |
| D3 source, if you are vegan | Most D3 is from lanolin (wool) and so not vegan. This one’s D3 is from lichen. That is the single detail a vegan buyer should confirm. |
| D2 or D3 | This is a D3/D2 blend: D3 from lichen, D2 from mushroom extract and added vitamin D2. |
| Serving size and pack size | One tablet a day, 120 tablets — four months. That changes cost per day against a 60-tablet pack. |
| Cost per day | Divide by servings. About 21p a day here. |
