1voteA: Yes. Both lichen and lanolin produce identical cholecalciferol molecules — the human body cannot tell them apart at the chemical level. Lichen-derived D3 has been shown in research to raise blood 25-OH vitamin D levels equivalently to lanolin-derived D3. The differences are sourcing and ethics: lichen is plant-based, harvested sustainably; lanolin is rendered from sheep wool. For vegans and those avoiding animal-derived ingredients, lichen D3 is the preferred ethical choice with no efficacy compromise.Posted by on Sunday, May 3, 2026

1voteA: Vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol from yeast) is plant-based but less effective than D3 at raising and maintaining blood vitamin D levels. Studies show D3 raises serum 25-OH D about 1.7 times more efficiently than equivalent IUs of D2, and D3 maintains the elevated level longer. Lichen-derived D3 (this product) gives vegans the same superior efficacy as animal-derived D3 without the ethical concern. D2 is now mostly considered second-best even for vegans.Posted by on Sunday, May 3, 2026

1voteA: No. The molecular form delivered is cholecalciferol regardless of source. Comparative trials of lichen D3 versus lanolin D3 show equivalent serum response. The ChampVita Country Life Vegan D3 product can be tracked the same way — get a 25-OH vitamin D blood test every 3 to 6 months when first starting supplementation to find your optimal maintenance dose, with a target range typically 30 to 60 ng/mL for adults.Posted by on Sunday, May 3, 2026
