Vitamin D3 Powder
Cholecalciferol ingredient for supplement, premix and food-fortification manufacturing.
Product Snapshot
Cholecalciferol Powder at a Glance
Core identity and physical information for initial ingredient screening.
Formulation Information
What Matters When Formulating with This D3 Grade
Three practical points help determine addition, blending and process fit before scale-up.
Potency Basis
The ingredient specification is ≥100,000 IU/g. Addition levels should be calculated from the supplied powder specification rather than treating the material as pure cholecalciferol.
Dispersion in the Finished Matrix
The CWS format is designed for cold-water dispersion. Actual behavior still depends on the complete formula, mixing sequence and process conditions, so dispersion should be checked in the intended matrix.
Low-Inclusion Blending
Vitamin D is typically incorporated at a low inclusion level. Premixing or another validated blending approach can help achieve uniform distribution before the ingredient enters the final batch.

Application Fit
Where This Vitamin D3 Powder Fits
Application selection should consider the finished format, blending route and processing environment.
Capsules & Tablets
Suitable for dry-dose formulas where the D3 ingredient can be distributed uniformly through the powder blend before encapsulation or compression.
Vitamin & Mineral Premixes
A practical route for incorporating a low-dose micronutrient into a larger intermediate blend before final product manufacturing.
Fortified Foods & Nutrition Powders
Applicable to fortification projects after confirming dispersion, process compatibility and the requirements of the intended finished product.
Supply & Documentation
Information for Purchasing and Quality Review
Once the formulation fit is established, purchasing and QA teams can complete the ingredient review with the applicable supply documents.
Bulk Packaging
Standard packing is 25 kg per carton.
Batch Documentation
Request the applicable COA and product specification for incoming-material review and release procedures.
Storage
Store at ambient temperature in accordance with the product documentation and normal warehouse controls for sealed ingredient materials.
Before Ordering
Provide the intended application, required quantity and destination so the appropriate product and commercial information can be matched to the project.
