Chemically known as ergocalciferol, vitamin D2 is an odorless and tasteless white needle-like crystal or white crystalline powder.
D2 is extremely soluble in trichloromethane, soluble in ethanol, acetone, or ether, slightly soluble in vegetable oil, but insoluble in water.
VD2 is easily deteriorated by light or air so you have to protect the pure powder from sunlight and store it in a vacuum.
It has a specific optical rotation between +102.5° and +107.5°, which can be used for one of its identifications along with HPLC and IR.
Vit D2 is a ring-opening steroid formed by the chemical bond breakage of steroids in response to photochemistry and can be produced particularly by the reaction of ultraviolet light and ergocalciferol.
Preparations of ergocalciferol in the early days are also known as Viosterol.
According to the US diagnostic guidelines of 2011, ergocalciferol may be used as a dietary supplement for vitamin D.
Ergocalciferol is as effective as cholecalciferol (vitamin D3), which is produced by the skin in response to ultraviolet light exposure, and Ergocalciferol is available under various trade names.
D2’s metabolism and activation are first through the liver and secondly in the kidney.
Vit D2 is mainly absorbed by the small intestine and its absorption requires bile salts to be bound with special alpha-globulins, then to be transported to other parts of the body and stored in the liver and fat.
What is Vitamin D2 Used For?
The world consumption of vitamin D2 is 1800 tons/year, of which 70%-80% is used as a feed additive.
