For office workers, night-shifters and anyone with limited sun exposure who is looking to supplement their vitamin D intake.
For vegans and vegetarians who want a plant-derived source of vitamin D3 to complement their food choices.
For those looking to supplement during Canadian winters, when sunlight provides less UVB for the skin to make vitamin D.

Bring the sunshine vitamin into your daily routine. Purica D3 provides 2,500 IU of vitamin D3 from pine sterols to help prevent vitamin D deficiency. Made for adults who need additional vitamin D, this plant-derived formula offers the same cholecalciferol form the body makes in response to sunlight. One vegan capsule a day, made in Canada.

Once absorbed, pine-derived D3 follows the body’s usual pathway to active vitamin D.
Cholecalciferol from a capsule enters the same metabolic pathway as the D3 your skin produces in sunlight.
Your liver converts D3 into 25-hydroxyvitamin D, the main circulating form used to assess vitamin D status in a blood test.
Your kidneys convert it into active vitamin D, which helps your gut absorb calcium and supports immune function.
PURICA’s D3 begins with phytosterols from Pinus taeda, the fast-growing loblolly pine. The source is botanical; the finished nutrient is cholecalciferol, chemically identical to D3 from other sources.
This gives you a vegan option with the same molecular form your body already uses. Made in Canada and packaged in amber glass.
