Description

Product Overview

 

Ergocalciferol, also known as Vitamin D2, is premium plant-sourced crystalline powder produced via controlled UV irradiation of fungal ergosterol raw materials. Our factory strictly follows USP & EP monographs to deliver consistent potency at 40,000 IU per milligram, ideal as fat-soluble vitamin API for pharmaceutical formulations, vegan dietary supplements and food fortification worldwide. Unlike generic D2 raw materials, we adopt cryogenic crystallization and nitrogen-blanketed micronization to cut toxic isomer impurities, guaranteeing stable potency during long-distance cold-chain export to EU, North America, Southeast Asia and Oceania markets. All batches support full batch traceability, complete regulatory documents and third-party testing reports for global importers, supplement brands and pharma manufacturers.

 

Core Competitive Advantages

 

  • Vegan & Non-GMO plant-derived source, zero animal ingredients, BSE/TSE-free, suitable for clean-label supplement formulas
  • Strict impurity control: Lumisterol 2, Tachysterol 2 ≤0.5% each, unreacted Ergosterol ≤0.2%, total impurities ≤1.0% by HPLC
  • Full international certifications: cGMP, ISO9001, ISO22000, CEP/EDQM compliant, Kosher & Halal certified
  • Cold-chain export logistics: Nitrogen-flushed vacuum foil bags + opaque fiber drums, temperature data loggers for full transit monitoring
  • Flexible bulk packaging: 1kg aluminum foil bag, 25kg fiber drum, custom packaging & private labeling available
  • Complete export document package: COA, TDS, MSDS, factory audit report, origin certificate, heavy metal ICP-MS test reports
  • Low MOQ for trial order: 1kg sample support, 24-month retest period under sealed original packaging
  • Technical formulation support: Custom micronization, potency adjustment, formulation guidance for tablets, capsules, gummies

 

Production & Quality Control Process

 

  • Ergosterol Raw Material Refining: Extract high-purity fungal sterols from fermented plant biomass with full source trace files for every batch
  • PLC Automatic UV Photochemical Irradiation: Narrow-band UV filters avoid over-irradiation to reduce harmful tachysterol byproducts
  • Sub-zero Cryogenic Crystallization: Low-temperature loop suppresses isomer generation to stabilize D2 crystal structure
  • Industrial HPLC Isomer Separation: Chromatography columns separate pure Ergocalciferol from mixed impurities
  • Nitrogen-Protected Micronization: Full inert gas shielding prevents oxidation during particle size reduction
  • Final HPLC Potency Standardization: Real-time assay monitoring to lock 98.0%–102.0% dried basis content
  • Double Microbiological & Heavy Metal Inspection: ICP-MS for heavy metals, USP <61>/<62> microbial test before delivery

 

Wide Application Fields

 

  • Pharmaceutical Industry: Oral vitamin D tablets, softgel capsules, prescription bone health APIs
  • Dietary Supplement Industry: Vegan vitamin complex powders, D2 gummies, bone support supplements, sports nutrition blends
  • Functional Food Fortification: Plant-based milk, breakfast cereals, fortified vegan dairy alternatives
  • Animal Nutrition: Feed additive for livestock & pet nutrition (custom food-grade specs available)
  • Cosmetic Raw Materials: Skin care vitamin D active ingredients for barrier repair formulas

FAQ

 

Q1: What's the difference between plant-based Ergocalciferol (D2) and Cholecalciferol (D3)?

A1: Ergocalciferol Vitamin D2 is extracted from fungal plant sterols, fully vegan and suitable for vegetarian/clean-label products; D3 mostly comes from lanolin animal sources. Our D2 raw material meets all global vegan supplement regulatory requirements, with stable potency matching USP/EP standards.

Q2: How do you prevent Ergocalciferol from converting back to tachysterol impurities during production & shipping?

A2: We adopt narrow-band UV filtering in photochemical reaction and sub-zero cooling crystallization to limit over-irradiation byproducts. All packaging uses nitrogen blanketing and light-blocking materials, plus cold-chain transit to avoid isomer reversion.

Q3: What export documents can you provide for customs clearance?

A3: Each batch supplies Certificate of Analysis (COA), Technical Data Sheet (TDS), Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS), factory GMP audit report, origin certificate, heavy metal ICP-MS test report and microbial test report; we support customized documents for EU, US, Australia customs registration.

Q4: Can I order small trial samples before bulk bulk purchase?

A4: Yes, 1kg sample orders are available with full testing documents. After sample validation, we support flexible bulk order quantities from 25kg to multiple metric tons with stable factory supply capacity.

Q5: Is your Ergocalciferol free from genetically modified materials?

A5: Verified Non-GMO throughout the whole production chain, raw fungal sterols are non-transgenic, with official Non-GMO statement provided for every shipment.
