Description
LIPOSOMAL DELIVERY INGREDIENT
Liposomal Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol) Powder
Liposomal Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol) is supplied as a phospholipid-encapsulated powder for formulators who need the active dispersed in a lipid bilayer rather than as a free crystalline solid. This grade is offered as a B2B raw material: cholecalciferol at the stated potency of the active on a phospholipid carrier, produced by thin-film hydration followed by high-pressure homogenisation and spray drying. It is intended for further processing by the buyer (capsules, stick packs, sachets, liquid or powder blends). The material is characterised by phospholipid identity, particle-size distribution and encapsulation-related parameters rather than by crystallinity, so the specification below is written accordingly.

Buyer Decision Guide
Liposomal grades are specified differently from plain powders. Buyers should agree on three things before approval: the carrier system (phosphatidylcholine from sunflower or soy lecithin, or a synthetic phospholipid), the declared active content of the encapsulated system, and the dispersion behaviour in the buyer’s own matrix. Confirm the intended final dosage form at enquiry stage.
- Active content: cholecalciferol at the stated potency on a phospholipid carrier, expressed on the encapsulated system rather than on total powder mass.
- Carrier declaration: phosphatidylcholine source and phospholipid content are stated on the COA for identity control.
- Particle size: micro-dispersible powder, specification agreed against the dispersion test the buyer will run.
- Dispersion: designed to disperse in water and in oil-free aqueous matrices; evaluate in your own base before scale-up.
- Handling: hygroscopic, sensitive to heat and oxygen; keep sealed, cool and dry, and open only under controlled conditions.
- This material is a raw material for further processing, not a finished consumer product.
How This Grade Differs
Liposomal Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol) is not interchangeable with plain Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol) powder on a weight-for-weight basis. The active is held in a phospholipid bilayer, so the declared content refers to the encapsulated system, and the material behaves differently in dispersion, taste masking and flow. Buyers comparing quotations should normalise on the active content stated on the COA, not on the price per kilogram of powder.

Frequently Asked Questions
What physical form does Liposomal Vitamin D3 Powder ship in?
Fine off-white to pale yellow powder, milled to 98% through 80 mesh.
Which safety parameters are tested every lot?
Moisture <=5.0%; result 4.70%, ash <=5.0%; result 3.30%, heavy metals and microbiology against the approved specification.
What shelf life and storage conditions apply?
Two years when stored properly, kept sealed in a dry place away from light and heat.
Which test method should our QC lab expect to reproduce?
HPLC, with the reference standard and calculation basis recorded on the batch certificate.
Can the COA be matched to the lot you ship?
Yes. The certificate is issued for the shipped lot, which is the batch LXLP260427 referenced on the specification.
How is the material shipped?
Air and sea freight are both arranged, with the mode chosen against volume, destination and required date. Documents and the HS code are issued with the shipping instructions.
What packing options are available?
Standard packing is a sealed food-grade inner liner inside an export carton or fibre drum. Pack size, labelling and private-label artwork are agreed in the written specification.
What is the minimum order quantity?
The regular MOQ is typically 1 kg. An evaluation sample of 10-20 g can usually be arranged before a formal order, subject to stock.
