Botanical Cube Inc. is one of the most professional manufacturers and suppliers of cholecalciferol powder in China, featured by quality products and good price. Please rest assured to wholesale bulk discount cholecalciferol powder from our factory.
Cholecalciferol powder, commonly known as vitamin D3, is a fat-soluble vitamin essential for calcium absorption, bone health, immune support and overall well-being. It is typically derived from lanolin (sheep wool fat) and is carefully processed into a fine, easy-flowing powder. It has a high IU potency and excellent stability after microencapsulation, making it ideal for tableting, premixes and powdered beverage systems.As the most bioavailable form of vitamin D, cholecalciferol plays a vital role in maintaining healthy blood calcium and phosphorus levels. Our highly purified cholecalciferol is formulated for flexibility, stability and proven functionality in dietary supplement, functional food and animal nutrition formulations.
Why choose our cholecalciferol powder?
1. High microencapsulation efficiency – over 95%
Our proprietary microencapsulation technology ensures uniform protection against oxidation, light and heat, ensuring the potency of the active ingredient is maintained during storage and processing.
2. Low residual solvents: < 0.005%
Our extraction process results in residual solvent levels below 0.005%, well above the USP and EP limits. This is critical for clean label and pharmaceutical grade applications.
3. Consistent particle size distribution: D90 ≤ 100μm
We precisely control particle size to ensure better mixing properties for premixes and uniformity for tablet or capsule formulations. Our D90 is below 100μm, which means excellent dispersibility in both water-dispersible and oil-based systems.
4. Custom IU Range: 100,000 IU/g to 2,000,000 IU/g
We offer custom IU concentrations based on your formulation needs. Whether it's for infant formula, vegan capsules or animal feed, we can adjust to your needs.

FAQs of cholecalciferol powder
1. Is cholecalciferol powder vegan?
Most cholecalciferol is extracted from lanolin and is therefore not a vegan product. However, we also offer a certified vegan vitamin D3 from lichen. We can provide both products upon request.
2. How do you use cholecalciferol powder in food or beverage products?
Use microencapsulated dosage form to improve water dispersibility and stability. Add at low temperature heating stage to avoid loss of potency. Mix with stabilizer to ensure uniform distribution.
3. What is the difference between vitamin D2 and D3?
D3 (cholecalciferol) is more bioavailable and more effective in increasing and maintaining serum 25(OH)D levels than D2 (ergocalciferol).
