Sunshine Vitamin D3 Oil: Cook with the Sun Every Day

When people think about getting Vitamin D3, they usually picture taking supplements. Sunshine Vitamin D3 Oil takes a different approach: instead of a new habit, it brings Vitamin D3 into your daily cooking. It comes in two versions, an unflavored oil for everyday cooking and a dressing oil in five flavors.

Bring Vitamin D3 to Your Everyday Meals

Sauté with it, fry with it, or drizzle it as a finishing touch on your meal. By bringing it into your everyday cooking, you can add Vitamin D3 easily and deliciously.

Simply enjoying your meals can become a way to bring a healthy habit into your life. This is the new way of eating the team looks forward to bringing to your table.

Enjoy Vitamin D3 Your Way

One versatile cooking oil and five delicious flavored oils

Blended with canola oil, the Vitamin D3 cooking oil has a mild, gentle flavor. You can use it to sauté, stir-fry, and grill, or drizzle it as a finish, making it easy to add Vitamin D3 to your usual meals.

Blended with extra-virgin olive oil, the dressing oil comes in five flavors. Just drizzle it over salads, pasta, meat dishes, and more to add a richer flavor together with Vitamin D3.

Why Choose Sunshine Vitamin D3 Oil?

No Extra Supplement Routine

You don’t need to build a new daily supplement habit. By using it as you would any other oil or dressing, you can easily take in Vitamin D3 with your daily meals.

Vitamin D3 and Oil Work Better Together

Vitamin D3 is a fat-soluble nutrient and is known to be absorbed more easily when taken with fat.

Why Vitamin D3 Matters

Vitamin D3 is an essential nutrient for maintaining a healthy life. It helps the body absorb calcium, supporting stronger bones and teeth, and is also involved in the normal functioning of muscles and the immune system.

Vitamin D3 is also called the sunshine vitamin, because the body produces it when exposed to UV rays from the sun.

Our Unique Vitamin D3 Technology

When we sunbathe or simply walk outside in the sun, our bodies create Vitamin D3. Inspired by this natural mechanism, Sunshine Vitamin D3 Oil uses proprietary UVB irradiation technology: a component contained in the oil is converted into Vitamin D3, resulting in an oil that delivers Vitamin D3 and is easy to use in your daily meals.

01 Oil Refining

Carefully selected natural oils are refined with care, creating an oil environment that promotes the formation of Vitamin D3.

02 UVB Irradiation

Using proprietary UVB irradiation technology, the naturally occurring component 7-DHC (7-dehydrocholesterol) is converted into Vitamin D3.

03 Vitamin D3 Formation

The Vitamin D3 created in the oil is preserved within it, designed to be used in a stable state.

04 Ready for Everyday Meals

The finished Sunshine Vitamin D3 Oil is used as a base and blended with other oils such as canola oil or extra-virgin olive oil, creating two varieties that can be used in your everyday meals.

About Us

NIPPON TENEVIA Inc.

Nippon Tenevia is based in Sakaiminato, Tottori Prefecture, Japan, and researches and develops new food materials and technology. Its roots lie in the Sanko Group, founded in 1972. For approximately 55 years, the Sanko Group has worked in waste treatment and the effective use of resources, always looking for ways to make use of limited resources and turn them into new value.

Through these many years of experience, the company has cultivated a way of thinking that finds new possibilities in materials and resources that have not been fully utilized until now. One of the initiatives that came from this was mealworms.

Through joint research with Shimane University, the Sanko Group has studied the production and use of mealworms raised on underused resources such as agricultural and food processing by-products. The aim is not simply to reduce waste, but to connect unused resources to new industries and products.

Through this research and development, the team found new possibilities in oil derived from mealworms. Focusing on this oil, which differs from conventional Vitamin D3 source materials, and working with overseas partners with specialized expertise, they advanced the production of Vitamin D3 using UV technology and its application to food.

The result is Sunshine Vitamin D3 Oil. The goal was not to let this new technology end as a research effort, but to turn it into a product that anyone could bring into daily life. You don’t need to create special habits or add to an already busy lifestyle: you can take in Vitamin D3 while making your meals, just by drizzling it over salad or pasta, and naturally get essential vitamins while enjoying your usual food.

The team wants to bring this new option to tables around the world, from a small regional city in Japan to the rest of the world. Sunshine Vitamin D3 Oil is their new step, born from many years of experience in resource utilization and a new challenge in food technology.
