Product Introduction
Vitamin D3 is a fat-soluble vitamin that plays a crucial role in calcium and phosphate balance in the body. It is primarily derived from animal sources, such as fish liver oil, egg yolks, and fortified foods. The vitamin is essential for maintaining healthy bones and teeth, supporting immune function, and regulating mood. As a food additive, vitamin D3 is commonly used in dietary supplements and functional foods, providing an easy way for consumers to meet their dietary requirements.
Production Process
The production of vitamin D3 involves the UV irradiation of 7-dehydrocholesterol, a compound found in animal skin or lanolin. This process converts the 7-dehydrocholesterol into cholecalciferol when exposed to ultraviolet light. After synthesis, vitamin D3 is purified and crystallized to meet the required quality standards. Quality control testing ensures the final product is free from contaminants and meets specifications for potency.
