Description
Technical & Manufacturing Relevance:
Vitamin D is essential for calcium and phosphorus absorption, supporting bone mineralization, muscle function, immune modulation, and hormonal balance. Vitamin D3 is generally preferred for its higher potency and longer-lasting serum levels, while Vitamin D2 is used in plant-based and vegan formulations. In manufacturing, Vitamin D requires accurate low-dose handling and is commonly supplied as oil solutions, beadlets, spray-dried powders, or microencapsulated forms to enhance stability, uniformity, and bioavailability.
Applicable Dosage Forms:
Softgel capsules (oil-based)
Tablets (with carriers or beadlets)
Hard gelatin & HPMC capsules
Oral drops & liquid emulsions
Sachets / powder blends (microencapsulated)
Medical & clinical nutrition products
