Teneab,
Thank you for bringing my attention to this paper, but it backs up what I’ve said about vitamin D in mushrooms. I added a couple of paragraphs to the article.

You might want to know that since you wrote your section on Vitamin D in mushrooms, it has actually appeared to be the case that the evidence is more mixed and unclear, it’s not clear they are safe to use to raise Vitamin D status. See: https://doi.org/10.3945/jn.115.223784 You might want to take a look at the evidence again and update your article

I couldn’t find any independent verification of vitamin D in kombu (or kelp). I don’t recall having heard of vitamin D in seaweed, but apparently one study mentions that Fucus spiralis (not kelp) contains vitamin D3. The USDA assumes there is no vitamin D in raw kelp. If it’s important to you, you might contact the manufacturer to find out how they determine the vitamin D content of their product.

Organic Pacific offers a version with 4.5 mcg (23%) per serving. https://shop.oceanshalo.com/products/organic-pacific-kombu-2-pack

Danilo, both products you link are vegetarian only. Both rely on lanolin from sheep’s wool. They don’t kill sheep for the purpose of obtaining lanolin but it’s likely sheep end up in slaughterhouse at some point when they get older.
