Sometimes included in vitamin D supplements to provide a more direct and faster increase in serum vitamin D levels compared to cholecalciferol.
Beneficial in populations with malabsorption syndromes or hepatic insufficiency.
4. Research and Development
Used as a standard compound in vitamin D metabolism studies.
Helps in understanding the role of vitamin D metabolites in immune regulation, cancer biology, and chronic diseases.
