They are a supplier, not a retailer, but you can encourage the use of this synthetic D3 form in formulas, as it is the form which is bio-identical to what your skin makes in the sunshine.

While this is still more the exception than the norm when it comes to D3, the synthetic version does exist, and it is the form used by Tropicana.

Lanolin, a grease from wool-bearing animals, acts as a skin ointment, water-proofing wax, and raw material (such as in shoe polish).

Lanolin is “wool fat” or grease, chemically akin to wax, it is produced by wool-bearing animals such as sheep, and is secreted by their sebaceous glands. These glands are associated with hair follicles. Lanolin acts as a waterproofing wax, and recent studies indicate that antibiotics are also present in the lanolin.

Lanolin is used commercially in a great many products ranging from rust-preventative coatings to cosmetics. Most or all the lanolin is removed from wool when it is processed into textiles e.g. yarn or felt.

Lanolin is often used as a raw material for producing vitamin D3.

so minute maid is not vegan, from an animal. & probably the same with tropicana, for they don’t call sheeps wool animal. i argued this many times with companies that put it in vitamins. but the health department has no power to safeguard us, by omitting the company has to say if its an animal. so either the health department needs, help or it isn’t doing its job.

so till more proof comes, vitamin d-3 is non vegan, & the synthetic is probably from sheeps wool or some animal part. it has to be a liver or hand, wing, leg, etc… to be an animal part to some companies, for they are into making money, so don’t care, only if what will sell, & saying products from wool is animal they bypass. they aren’t aware of the health dangers & should be told. if we we tell these major companies to use vitamin d-2 instead, for the synthetic & wool made d-3 is harmful to us, & cruelty is involved.

With all these companies adding synthetic vitamins that arn't properly processed by the body you can overdoes on them! Vitamin D toxicity can cause nausea, vomiting, poor appetite, constipation, weakness, and weight loss. It can also raise blood levels of calcium, causing mental status changes such as confusion. High blood levels of calcium also can cause heart rhythm abnormalities. Calcinosis, the deposition of calcium and phosphate in the body's soft tissues such as the kidney, can also be caused by vitamin D toxicity. Is it possible to get OJ without vitamin D added?

Perhaps I'll check with a few other reliable sources and see what they say. Hmmm… that’s what I originally thought, too, but the response from Tropicana directly contradicts that.
