D3 Safe if allergy to wool/lanolin?Updated 2 months ago

Q: If someone has allergies to wool, can they take our vitamins that contain D3 derived from lanolin?

A: The transfer of wool allergens to our D3 product has a very low probability of occurrence: it is highly unlikely wool allergens would be present in sufficient quantity to initiate an allergic response. To the best of our knowledge, a bad reaction is unlikely, however, we cannot make any guarantees, however, and we recommend you contact your health care provider prior to taking any new supplements or medication.

 

******Additional Information for internal use only**********

The transfer of wool allergens to D3 purified material has a very low 

probability of occurrence: proteins are water soluble as a general rule 

whereas the Vitamin D3 we use is a highly purified oil. Since oil and water 

do not mix, it is highly unlikely wool allergens would be present in 

sufficient quantity to initiate an allergic response
