What Is Vitamin D2 (Ergocalciferol)?
Vitamin D2, also referred to as ergocalciferol, is a plant-based form of vitamin D. While vitamin D3 is typically derived from lanolin, D2 is sourced from yeast and fungi, making it a suitable option for vegans. DEVA's Vegan Vitamin D2 delivers 2400 IU (60 mcg) per tablet, a potent dose to help maintain adequate vitamin D levels. Once ingested, the body converts ergocalciferol into its active form, calcitriol, which supports numerous physiological processes.

Who May Benefit from Vitamin D Supplementation?
Many Canadians may have low vitamin D levels, especially during winter months or for those who spend little time outdoors. Individuals with darker skin, older adults, and people following a vegan diet are at higher risk. DEVA Vegan Vitamin D2 provides a reliable plant-based source to help fill nutritional gaps. Consult your healthcare provider to determine if supplementation is right for you.
Why Choose a Vegan Vitamin D Supplement?
For those on a plant-based diet, finding a truly animal-free vitamin D supplement can be difficult. Many D3 products are derived from lanolin (sheep's wool), making them unsuitable. DEVA's Vitamin D2 is made from ergocalciferol sourced from yeast and fungi, and it is registered with the Vegan Society, guaranteeing No animal ingredients or byproducts. Each small tablet provides 2400 IU, helping you meet your daily needs while staying true to your lifestyle.
How to Take DEVA Vegan Vitamin D2
Vitamin D is fat-soluble, so it is best absorbed when taken with a meal containing some fat. The recommended dosage is one tablet daily, or as directed by your healthcare practitioner. Each bottle contains 90 tablets; this package includes two bottles for a 180-day supply. The tablets are small and easy to swallow. Store in a cool, dry place away from light.
What Makes DEVA Vitamin D2 Stand Out?
DEVA is committed to high-quality vegan supplements. This product is free from common allergens including yeast, wheat, gluten, sugar, soy, salt, and animal byproducts. It is for purity, freshness, and labelled potency. The Vegan Society registration ensures No animal testing or ingredients are involved. DEVA offers a 100% customer satisfaction guarantee.
