Vitamin D3 is a fat-soluble vitamin that can be obtained from some fish, mushrooms, and dairy products. The most common form of the vitamin is cholecalciferol (vitamin D3) which can be converted in the liver to calcidiol (25-hydroxycholecalciferol) and in the kidneys to calcitriol (1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol). Vitamin D3 has been shown to have a positive effect on calcium absorption and bone mineralization. It also has important physiological functions such as regulation of cell growth and differentiation. The solubility of vitamin D3 is dependent on the presence of a hydroxy group at position 3' or 25'. This liquid chromatography method uses an experimental solubility data set for the determination of solubility data for compounds with a hydroxy group at position 3'.
