Reliability
Utilizing an accredited laboratory is a critical strategy for routinely verifying product concentration, quality and safety to ensure traceability throughout the supply chain. While quantifying the concentration of 25-hydroxycholecalciferol (25-OHD3) is a primary analytical target, it should not be the sole criterion for evaluation. Comprehensive product assessment requires the measurement of additional biochemical markers that validate the manufacturing processes and reflect both the safety and bioactivity of the product.
Foremost among these is 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol (1,25(OH)2D3), the active hormonal form of Vitamin D3, which must be rigorously assayed due to its potent physiological effects and tight endogenous regulation. Presence of 1,25(OH)2D3 above threshold levels may indicate metabolic contamination and pose safety risks.
Other relevant analytes include:
- Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol): Assesses residual precursor levels and the efficacy of conversion pathways.
- Antioxidant Profile: Identifies and quantifies unapproved adulterants and oxidative stability.
