whole food vitamin d
vitamin d from real food, not grease.
Most D3 supplements come from lanolin (processed sheep's grease) and skip its partner, K2. Ours pairs D3 from wild lichen with K2 fermented from non-GMO chickpeas.

the difference
the source matters
Most supplements start in a lab. Ours start in nature, because your body was designed to get its nutrients from real food.
industry standard
typical vitamin d supplement
created in a lab
- where it comes from
- D3 synthesized from lanolin, which is heavily processed sheep's grease
- what comes with it
- usually D3 on its own, with no K2, retinol, minerals or dietary fat
- what's not in it
- commonly includes synthetic additives, fillers & artificial ingredients
- why that matters
- it's an isolated synthetic compound stripped from all its natural cofactors needed for the body to absorb & utilize D3
Describes conventional supplement formats in general, not any specific brand.
the holistico way
holistico whole food vitamin d
extracted from food
- where it comes from
- D3 from lichen, a fungus/algae organism that makes D3 from sunlight, the same way your skin does
- what comes with it
- K2 from fermented chickpeas, plus retinol naturally occurring in desiccated beef liver, minerals naturally occurring in marine algae and coconut oil as a healthy fat to improve absorption
- what's not in it
- no synthetic fillers, additives or artificial ingredients
- why that matters
- it's food derived nutrients with their natural cofactors present which is how vitamin D occurs in nature and how our bodies are designed to absorb and utilize D*

Describes conventional supplement formats in general, not any specific brand.
the holistico way
holistico whole food calcium
extracted from food
- where it comes from
- calcium from eggshells and marine algae
- what comes with it
- horseradish tree leaf for plant phytonutrients and trace minerals along with magnesium naturally occurring in marine algae
- what's not in it
- no synthetic fillers, additives or artificial ingredients, and free from dairy
- why that matters
- it's food derived nutrients with their natural mineral partners present which is how calcium occurs in nature and how our bodies are designed to absorb and utilize calcium*

the supplement industry went synthetic. we went back to whole foods.
Whole foods repeatedly outperform their isolated nutrients, because nutrients work best in the combinations nature provides.

don't just take our word for it…
hundreds of 5 star reviews from people just like you
finally my body is happy
“I did the nutrient deficiency test through Holistico and found out I was low in calcium. I started taking the Whole Food Calcium formula, and six months later my follow-up test showed both levels were back in range. And my joint pain is gone. These are the only supplements I actually trust now.”
no more guessing
“I used to take multivitamins and never noticed a difference. After testing my levels, I started taking Holistico's whole food supplements for what I was truly deficient in and it's a game changer. My skin is so much clearer, and I love knowing everything is from real foods not chemicals made in a lab.”
sleeping so good
“It's so refreshing to take something that's actually recognizable to the body. No additives, no synthetic ingredients, just pure nutrition so I know my body is absorbing it. I've noticed a huge difference in my sleep and recovery, and my digestion has never been this good.”
whole foods for the win
“I switched to these after realizing how problematic the synthetic vitamins I used to take are. I didn't realize they were throwing my mineral balance off. Now I'm correcting with these whole food supplements and it's been great, my body responds really well to these and I've noticed way more energy.”
