Product Introduction
WEHENGFOOD is a China vitamin D3 manufacturer, supplier and exporter, offering vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) in two forms: a cold-water-dispersible powder and a high-potency oil.
What is vitamin D3? It is the form of vitamin D the human body makes in the skin under sunlight, and it is widely used to fortify foods and supplements. Many finished products pair it with calcium, magnesium or vitamin K2. Demand for vitamin D3 supplements keeps growing, and so does demand for the ingredients behind them.

Functions of Vitamin D3
- Supports calcium absorption and bone health. This is why “calcium and vitamin D3” is one of the most common supplement pairings.
- Supports normal muscle function.
- Supports normal immune function.
- Helps maintain adequate vitamin D status. Low vitamin D3 levels are a common concern, particularly for people with limited sun exposure, older adults and people with restricted diets. Fortification helps close the gap, since few foods contain meaningful amounts of vitamin D3.
Vitamin D3 and vitamin K2 are often combined in one formula, because both are involved in calcium metabolism. A D3 K2 magnesium blend is another popular combination, and our D3 powder and oil can be used as the vitamin D3 source in either.
Functional claims differ by country. Please check local regulations for your target market.
