Our first question concerned their product called “Bone Support Vcaps” (Product No. We spoke with a customer service representative. The VRG e-mailed and called Source of Life. The VRG was curious to learn about the cholecalciferol that Source of Life said was produced by mushrooms. Except for a synthetic Vitamin D3 precursor currently given only to poultry (2), and Vitamin D3 purportedly produced by lichen (3), we have not been aware of an all-plant-based Vitamin D3. Cholecalciferol, or Vitamin D3, is usually derived from lanolin in sheep’s wool. To the best of our knowledge, mushrooms are able to produce Vitamin D2, otherwise known as ergocalciferol, when exposed to ultraviolet light (1). She wondered if the company’s statement about a vegan Vitamin D3 derived from mushrooms were true and asked us to look into it. In July 2011, a long-time VRG member contacted us about a Source of Life vitamin supplement recently purchased by her mother.
