Vegan Vitamin D3 Ingredient for International B2B Markets — Export Only
Cholecalciferol · Lichen source · Vegan
Fig. 0101Overview
Plant-based Vitamin D3 from lichen is our flagship export ingredient: cholecalciferol from a non-animal source, supplied in bulk to nutraceutical, food and premix manufacturers in international markets.
Cholecalciferol is the same molecule whatever its source. What sets this ingredient apart is its origin — lichen rather than lanolin or fish oil — which matters to manufacturers building vegan and plant-based product ranges for destination markets that permit them.
As a lichen Vitamin D3 manufacturer and exporter from India, ANM supplies this ingredient strictly as a B2B material to brands, contract manufacturers, formulators and distributors outside India, with grade-specific documentation and export support. It is manufactured for export markets only and is not offered for domestic sale in India.
02Formats & potencies
Standard powder grade for dry blends, tablets, capsules and premixes.
Higher-strength powder for formulations with limited space for actives.
High-potency grade intended as a premix input or for further dilution by the manufacturer.
Liquid grade for oil-based formulations, drops and softgels.
Formats and strengths are supplied against the current specification for each grade. Need a different potency or carrier? Discuss custom potency.
03Source & origin
The active ingredient is cholecalciferol (Vitamin D3) obtained from lichen — a composite organism formed by a fungus living with algae — rather than from lanolin or fish oil, the sources conventionally used for commercial Vitamin D3.
Cholecalciferol has the same molecular identity, C27H44O (CAS 67-97-0), whatever its origin. This ingredient is characterised by its source and its specification; no difference in performance from Vitamin D3 of other origins is claimed.
A source statement is issued for each grade on request, for buyers preparing vegan or plant-based labelling and regulatory reviews in their destination market.
