The GHT Companies (GHT) will unveil a D3 gummy product exclusively formulated with its vegan vitamin D3 powder at the upcoming 35th annual Natural Products Expo West.
The D3 gummy will take pride of place at GHT’s booth at the show which is being held March 6-8 at the Anaheim Convention Center.
More than 60,000 people are expected to attend Expo West, the world’s largest event devoted to natural and specialty food and beverages, organics, supplements, health and beauty, natural living and pet products.
GHT’s D3 gummy, which is available for private labeling, is Non GMO, Gluten free, Kosher approved, and Halal approved. It comes in three flavors—strawberry, orange and lemon.
Several studies suggest that vitamin D3 is 70 percent to 87 percent more potent than vitamin D2 and easier for the body to absorb. Vegan Vitamin D3, which is derived from lichen, is the only known source of vitamin D3 that uses absolutely no animal products. Previously, as D3 usually comes from lanolin extracted from sheep’s wool grease, vegans would have had to settle for vitamin D2, the less-effective ergocalciferol form of Vitamin D.
The GHT Companies’ President and CEO, Jim Rex states, “We are proud to offer the only known vegan vitamin D3 in a gummy. This is the result of a one year R & D effort, coupled with our exclusive rights as the North American resource for our unique Vegan Vitamin D3 raw ingredients. Our partner, Chemroy Canada, Inc., and our companies will currently be the only sources of these gummies in North America. It’s just a part of our vision coming to fruition, which is to be at the forefront of introducing unique and groundbreaking health discoveries to the nutraceutical markets.”
