Vitashine impresses on all levels:
– No pesticides.
– Organic growing conditions.
– Sustainable cultivation areas to store beneficial nutrients, including
cholecalciferol.

Lichens are small, unique plant species that arise from a symbiotic relationship between a fungus
with an algae. This gives them unique properties such as survival in extreme climates and
the ability to grow and significant quantities.

Since lichens grow very slowly, the manufacturers of Vitashine have made sure that they can also be used beyond their use for Vitashine.
