Health From The Sun Supplements
Vegetarians, what do you think about vitamin D3 supplements?
I am anemic and found out today that my vitamin D3 levels are way down. My doctor wants me to take D3 supplements in addition to a prescription iron pill. I have a raw vegan supplement for iron, but I am wondering about vitamin D3. After some research, I know that cholecalciferol comes from the wool of sheared sheep. I am not vegan, just vegetarian. I am deciding how I feel about taking the supplements. It is similar to drinking milk as far as vegetarian/vegan views go, I think. The animals don’t die, but I’m sure they are not treated well, and the shearing is harmful to their health. I am going to make my own decision, but I’d like to hear what other vegetarians think. I know vegans would not support the supplements and tell me to get more sun for vitamin D3. I have been pretty sick, however, and the sun just isn’t cutting it. So, vegetarians, what are your thoughts on supplements made from sheep wool?
If it is for your health, and there is no other alternative, than you should take it. We strive to make as minimal an impact on the lives of animals as possible, but most people are not martyrs for the cause. It is not like you are taking this supplement b/c another is too expensive, tastes bad, etc. there is no other choice.
Some people also choose to get D2, as that can be vegan. While taking D2 it is a good idea to still try and get 15 min of sunlight daily.
