Description

Function

• Calcium and Phosphorus Metabolism: Vitamin D3 is essential for the absorption of calcium and phosphorus in the intestines, which helps maintain proper levels of these minerals in the blood. This is crucial for bone mineralization and overall bone health.
• Bone Health: It helps prevent and treat conditions such as rickets (softening of bones in children), osteomalacia (softening of bones in adults), and osteoporosis (weak and brittle bones). Vitamin D3 also aids in the prevention of bone loss in people taking corticosteroids.
• Immune System Support: Vitamin D3 plays a role in supporting a healthy immune system by stimulating the body’s interferon type I signaling system, which helps protect against bacteria and viruses.
• Other Potential Benefits: Some studies suggest that Vitamin D3 may have roles in cancer prevention, autoimmune disorders, and cardiovascular health, although more research is needed to confirm these benefits.

Application

• Dietary Supplements: Vitamin D3 Powder is widely used in the production of dietary supplements to help individuals maintain adequate levels of Vitamin D, especially those with limited sun exposure or dietary intake.
• Food Fortification: It is added to various food products such as milk, cereal, and beverages to enhance their nutritional value and ensure that consumers receive sufficient Vitamin D.
• Pharmaceuticals: In medical applications, Vitamin D3 is used to treat specific conditions related to Vitamin D deficiency, such as hypoparathyroidism and familial hypophosphatemia. It is also used in the management of renal osteodystrophy in people with kidney disease.
• Skincare Products: Due to its anti-inflammatory and skin-repairing properties, Vitamin D3 is sometimes used in skincare products.
