Omega-3 Plus Vitamin D3 Capsules

Fish oils and Vitamin D are naturally meant to be together, they’re perfect partners that nutritionally complement each other.

As a food, oily fish provide us with a rich source of Vitamin D, yet during the gentle and careful extraction of omega-3 oils for nutritional supplements, the Vitamin D gets left behind.

Rise & Shine is simply our way of reuniting these potent and powerful nutrients that play a pivotal role in our health, across all developmental stages and phases of life.

We use Vitamin D3V®, which is Cholecalciferol of 100% plant origin, produced from algae.

Conventional Vitamin D3 is obtained from animal-origins including lanolin (sheep woolgrease) or animal skins. Vitamin D3V® is chemically identical to animal-origin Vitamin D3. As well as being natural rather than animal-origin, it also overcomes concerns about quality and purity. Our process ensures zero residual pesticides or other contaminants.

Vitamin D3V® offers a 100% sustainable and traceable end-to-end supply chain process with complete control on quality and purity. Unlike Sheep’s Wool, our process uses zero pesticides and therefore the chance of residual pesticides is non-existent in Vitamin D3V®.

Yes, Rise & Shine is suitable for pescatarians.

Our Vitamin D source is Vitamin D3V®, which is Cholecalciferol of 100% plant origin, produced from algae.

2 daily Rise & Shine capsules provides a plentiful dose of Vitamin D3 and omega-3: 755mg of EPA, 377mg of DHA and 25ug (micrograms) of Vitamin D3 or 1,000iu, the most widely recommended daily dose.

Suitable for adults (including pregnant women) and children over 12.

25 micrograms (1,000 iu) of Vitamin D3. The NRV (Nutrient Reference Value) of 10 mcg or 400 IU a day is recommended for healthy individuals.

The omega-3 fats and vitamin D3 are absorbed into the bloodstream shortly after you take them so your body benefits from these potent nutrients from the very first day.

However, if you have a diagnosed health condition, are living with suboptimal health or have a high level of stress, poor sleep, high alcohol intake and poor diet - then it could take a while before you 'feel' the benefits. 

When taking a new nutrition supplement it's good to reassess how you feel after 1-3 months.

The carrier oil for the Vitamin D3 raw material is MCT (medium chain triglycerides) oil.

The fish oil in Rise & Shine is the same as the iconic Life & Soul omega-3 with the added benefit of vitamin D3. Rise & Shine contains slightly less EPA and DHA per dose (13% less) compared to our Life & Soul range to make room for the vitamin D3.

Life & Soul capsules cost £31.95. For this you get:

• 860mg EPA
• 440mg DHA

With Rise & Shine you get:

• 755mg EPA
• 377mg DHA
• 25 Micrograms (1,000iu) Vitamin D3

Roughly speaking, you get around 13% less EPA and DHA in R&S but you get Vitamin D3. 

If you were to take 13% off the price of Life & Soul, this would make the price around £27.75 just for the omega-3.

At £32.95, it's costing £5.2 a month for the Vitamin D3 which is 17p a day. (£27.75 + £5.20 = £32.95). In comparison, Wild Nutrition's vitamin D costs 50p a day.

So to get only 13% less omega-3 than Life & Soul but the recommended daily dose of Vitamin D3 for only £1 more, it's very good value.

You could, but it wouldn't be necessary and would cost you more money.

You'd be better off buying Rise & Shine if you want a maintenance dose of omega-3 and Vitamin D.

If you want more Vitamin D, you should buy Life and Soul and our high strength vitamin D spray Beam & Balance.

Rise & Shine doesn't contain any K2, as the dose of D3 they provide is a maintenance dose and not considered high enough to be crucial to need the two together.

The combination of vitamin D + K2, ensures that all the calcium vitamin D transports, ends up in the bones rather than potentially depositing in the arteries (sometimes the kidneys but this is less common).

You’re not going to be hugely increasing calcium transport with our 400 IU. Plus, dietary calcium is not usually seen to cause deposits unless someone is hugely inflamed, or taking poor quality calcium supplements.

Generally, when supplementing with D3, you won't need to consider adding K2 alongside until taking doses of around 3000-5000IU. Although we are all different, so if you're suffering from any health concerns it's best to consult a Nutritional Therapist or your GP.

You can absolutely take a separate K2 alongside Rise & Shine if you'd rather for peace of mind. Or, try our Life & Soul Capsules (our hero omega-3s), with Beam & Balance (our vitamin D + K2 spray) alongside.

Rise & Shine aren't suitable for those with an allergy to fish or coconut.
