Does vitamin d3 milk contain eggs?

Question

Please provide me with additional useful information about vitamin d3 ...like what exactly is it, etc
btw This is very important for me to know because I am a vegetarian =]

Answer 1

It'd be better if it did contain eggs! Almost all D-3 that's added to food came from sheep fat, specifically the fat found in and on the hair. The companies that make D-3 do it by stripping the lanolin (sheep hair fat) from the wool (sheep hair) and then exposing it to Ultraviolet light radiation until the fat breaks down into D-3.

Answer 2

NO the milk does not have eggs.

Your best source for Vitamin D is spending a bit of time in the sun every day!

Answer 3

Not to my knowledge... although I don't drink milk and find fortified milks particularly offensive. Isn't vitamin D derived from fish oils?

Answer 4

no, but here are the facts:
Vitamin D is a group of fat-soluble prohormones, the two major forms of which are vitamin D2 (or ergocalciferol) and vitamin D3 (or cholecalciferol).[1] The term vitamin D also refers to metabolites and other analogues of these substances. Vitamin D3 is produced in skin exposed to sunlight, specifically ultraviolet B radiation.

Vitamin D plays an important role in the maintenance of organ systems.[2]

Vitamin D regulates the calcium and phosphorus levels in the blood by promoting their absorption from food in the intestines, and by promoting re-absorption of calcium in the kidneys.
It promotes bone formation and mineralization and is essential in the development of an intact and strong skeleton.
It inhibits parathyroid hormone secretion from the parathyroid gland.
Vitamin D affects the immune system by promoting immunosuppression, phagocytosis, and anti-tumor activity.
Vitamin D deficiency can result from inadequate intake coupled with inadequate sunlight exposure, disorders that limit its absorption, conditions that impair conversion of vitamin D into active metabolites, such as liver or kidney disorders, or, rarely, by a number of hereditary disorders.[2] Deficiency results in impaired bone mineralization, and leads to bone softening diseases, rickets in children and osteomalacia in adults, and possibly contributes to osteoporosis. Vitamin D deficiency may also be linked to many forms of cancer.

Answer 5

Ummmm no! Eggs are not a dairy product their a product of chickens.

What is D3? It is called Cholecalciferol and it is a form of Vitamin D.

Answer 6

why would milk contain eggs at all? They come from two different animals.
