Overview

This supplement effectively delivers a robust dose of Vitamin D3 (5000 IU), which is well-researched for bone health and immune support. The use of a certified organic mushroom source for D3 is a notable advantage for plant-based consumers. The 'Certified Organic Mushroom Blend' and 'Organic Whole Food Blend' offer potential synergistic benefits, but their exact contribution to efficacy is difficult to quantify due to non-specific dosing of individual components within the blend.
