Vita-D-Sol® – Organic High Vitamin D Mushroom Powder: powerful, pure, plant-based

Vita-D-Sol is setting new standards for clean-label, plant-based nutrition. Our certified organic 100% mushroom powder delivers up to 300 µg/g (12,000 IU/g) of vitamin D2—soon to be even higher. It is derived from EU-grown mushrooms and enhanced using our patented LED2D process that retains the natural taste, smell, and texture of the mushroom powder.

Thanks to its high potency, only a tiny amount (25–80 mg per kg of food) is needed to meet the legal threshold for making health claims such as “supports immune function” or “contributes to the maintenance of normal bones and muscles.”

Vita-D-Sol is gluten-free, lactose-free, soy-free, GMO-free, and 100% vegan. It is stable during heat processing and easily blends into a wide range of organic food applications—like juices, cereals, snacks, or plant-based dairy alternatives.

With rising demand for clean, functional ingredients in the organic sector, Vita-D-Sol is the perfect natural solution to help your brand shine.

Novel Food approval – a milestone for a family company

We are proud to announce that Vita-D-Sol® has officially received Novel Food approval with 5-year exclusive right from the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA)!
This milestone is the result of nearly four years of dedicated work, research, and patience by our small, family-run business. Securing EU-wide approval for a vitamin D-rich food ingredient is not just a bureaucratic hurdle – it is an extraordinary testament to quality, safety, and innovation.

Unlike conventional vitamin D derived from sheep’s wool, Vita-D-Sol is 100% vegan, organic, and made exclusively from European mushrooms. Our success proves that even small players can meet the highest scientific and regulatory standards in the food industry.

We believe this is not only a breakthrough for us as a company, but also a significant step forward for plant-based innovation for vitamin D supply in Europe.

Market launch of world´s first LED-Vitamin D-Booster

After 2 years of intense research and development in cooperation with the University of Hohenheim (Germany), LUXIDUM ventured a great step further into Vitamin D-Boosting Process Optimization.

Two-stage UV LED type combinations were tested on vitamin D synthesis rate and further photoproducts
(eg. lumisterol, tachysterol, toxisterol, suprasterol) in mushrooms. Based on these results we developed
a completely new and patented LED technology approach: LED2D® technology.

Our technology consists of two narrowband high performance UV LED with different center wavelengths switched in series (type B and type C) leading to a two-stage vitamin D synthesis process:
          stage 1 Priming of ergosterol, the precursor of vitamin D
          stage 2 Opitimized biosynthesis of vitamin D
→ Highest yield of vitamin D
→ Lowest yield of undesired photoproducts

All our Boosters and main components incl. light systems are manufactured exclusively in Germany!

Two-stage UV LED type combinations were tested on vitamin D synthesis rate and further photoproducts (eg. lumisterol, tachysterol, toxisterol, suprasterol) in mushrooms. B/C wavelength combination was found to be the most efficient regarding vitamin D synthesis combined with lowest yield of undesired photoproducts.

Luxidum developed a completely new and patented LED technology approach for the production of Vitamin D-Mushrooms in the world´s first LED-Vitamin D-Booster: LED2D® technology.
