[QUOTE="Tejwant Singh, post: 108732, member: 138"] Narayanjot ji, Guru Fateh. Do people who belong to 3HO are Vegans or vegetarians? If they are vegans then they can not even take the Vitamin D supplement as suggested by the Doctor who belongs to 3HO. I found the following on the internet: [FONT=Arial][B][COLOR=#008000]Source of cholecalciferol or vitamin D3[/COLOR] Cholecalciferol has an origin from animal products such as sheep wool. The sheep are not killed. The wool is sheared, and lanolin from the sheep wool is chemically altered in the lab to produce vitamin D3 or cholecalciferol. [/B][/FONT] [B][FONT=Arial]Q. I would like your thoughts on whether taking vitamin D3 cholecalciferol is okay for someone who is allergic to wool. A. I have not heard of any problems arising from the ingestion of cholecalciferol in someone who is allergic to wool, but I cannot be 100 percent that it is completely safe since I am not familiar with the details of the manufacturing process of cholecalciferol from sheep wool. [/FONT][/B] [B][FONT=Arial][COLOR=#008000]Cholecalciferol questions[/COLOR] [/FONT][/B] [FONT=Arial][B]Q.

I'm vegan, does this mean I should not take a product with cholecalciferol but rather take ergocalciferol? A.
