As Veganuary comes to a close, many brands are reflecting on how ingredient choices support long term product strategy, particularly in categories where animal derived materials have traditionally been the default.

For the final week of Veganuary, we are focusing on EirVit®, our plant-sourced vitamin D3.

EirVit® is cholecalciferol derived from 100% plant phytosterol origin. It is suitable for vegan and vegetarian products while meeting established regulatory requirements for vitamin D3. Unlike lanolin and other animal derived sources, EirVit® does not carry product of animal origin import or export requirements, helping to simplify regulatory and logistical considerations.

Our phytosterols are sourced from pine bark through a sustainable and responsible supply chain. Using a proprietary process, they are converted into cholesterol that meets European Pharmacopoeia and United States Pharmacopoeia purity standards before being transformed into vitamin D3. From this point, EirVit® follows the same recognised synthetic pathway as traditional vitamin D3, ensuring regulatory alignment and consistency.

EirVit® offers high purity and quality, superior potency compared to vitamin D2, and meets EP and USP vitamin D3 specifications. It is vegan society registered, vegan verified through independent laboratories, kosher and halal certified, soy free, allergen free, non GMO and manufactured in the UK.

For brands developing vegan, plant-sourced or sustainability led formulations beyond January, EirVit® provides a reliable alternative to animal derived vitamin D3 without compromising on performance, regulatory positioning or supply confidence.

If your team is reviewing vitamin D3 options for upcoming formulations or 2026 product development, we can provide samples, technical documentation and formulation support. Further information is available in the PDF below.
