Vitamin D3 Powder, also known as Cholecalciferol Microencapsulated Powder, is a widely used nutritional fortification raw material in food and health supplement industries. It has the advantages of good water solubility, strong stability, easy storage and transportation, and is a mainstream preferred raw material in the industry. At present, the mainstream raw material sources are mainly divided into the following three categories:
1. Animal Lanolin Source
Lanolin source is the core raw material source of Vitamin D3 Powder, accounting for more than 90% of the market supply. Made from high-quality lanolin as the base material, natural Vitamin D3 is produced through saponification, purification and photochemical conversion. The finished product has high purity and stable activity with no allergen risk, fully meeting the production needs of various foods and dietary supplements. It is the first choice of global purchasers and the most mainstream supply category at present.
2. Chemical Synthesis Source
Vitamin D3 from chemical synthesis is produced from 7-dehydrocholesterol via artificial photochemical reaction, with exactly the same molecular structure as natural Vitamin D3. This raw material features highly controllable purity, stable batch quality, sufficient supply and favorable price with high cost performance. It is widely used in food additives and nutritional fortification raw materials to meet the demand for mass production and procurement.
3. Pure Natural Plant Lichen Source
Vitamin D3 from plant source, also named Vegan Vitamin D3, is a high-end customized raw material. Extracted from natural plant lichen, it contains no animal ingredients in the whole production process, perfectly complying with the procurement requirements and vegan certification standards of European and American vegan markets. Though it only accounts for a small market share, it meets the demand for niche high-end customization and is the optimal choice for vegan health supplement raw materials.
