Buy Vitamins – Micronutrients from A to K at Scheunengut
Vitamins are organic compounds that the human body needs only in small amounts and – with a few exceptions – cannot produce itself. A distinction is made between fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K) and water-soluble vitamins (C as well as the group of B vitamins). In this category, you'll find the vitamin range from Scheunengut – from Vitamin D and Vitamin C to the B vitamins, lab-tested and bottled in Germany.
Origin & Extraction
Vitamins come from plant and microbial sources or are obtained through defined fermentation and synthesis processes. Vitamin C, for example, can be isolated from fruit sources, while many B vitamins are produced by fermentation. Vitamin D3 is traditionally obtained from lanolin or, in vegan form, from lichen.
Standardisation & Format
Vitamins are available as a capsule, tablet, powder or drops. What matters is a transparently declared content, often in milligrams (mg), micrograms (µg) or International Units (IU). Fat-soluble vitamins are often offered dissolved in oil, and sensible combinations include Vitamin D with K2. In addition, vitamins are frequently offered together with minerals.
What to Look for When Buying
- Transparently declared, standardised content (mg, µg, IU)
- Origin and form of the vitamin (e.g. D3 from lichen)
- Vegan formulation, without unnecessary additives
- Independently lab-tested quality

Häufige Fragen zu Vitamins
Why are vitamins important for the body?
Vitamins are involved in countless processes – from energy metabolism to immune and nervous system function to protecting cells from oxidative stress. The body can't produce most of them itself and relies on getting them through food. That's exactly why vitamins form the foundation of good micronutrient intake.
What's the difference between fat-soluble and water-soluble vitamins?
Fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K) are best absorbed together with some fat and can be stored by the body. Water-soluble vitamins such as vitamin C and the B vitamins, on the other hand, are needed continuously throughout the day, since any surplus is excreted. This distinction helps you understand when and how best to take them.
Where do vitamins come from?
Vitamins come from plant and microbial sources, or are produced through defined fermentation and synthesis processes. Vitamin C, for example, can be isolated from fruit sources, many B vitamins are produced through fermentation, and vegan vitamin D3 is obtained from lichen. At Scheunengut, all vitamins are lab-tested and bottled in Germany.
Which vitamins should I choose?
That depends on your personal situation. Vitamin D is a particular focus for many people in winter, vitamin C and zinc contribute to the normal function of the immune system, and the B vitamins support energy metabolism. In our range, you'll find both individual vitamins and thoughtfully designed complexes – so you can combine them in a targeted way or take a broader approach.
