Calcitriol is a postulated vitamin D analogue that has been shown to have a thermal isomerization process. This process converts calcitriol into the more stable form of calcidiol and prevents the formation of toxic byproducts. Calcitriol has been shown to be absorbed in the intestine and then resorbed into the bloodstream, where it binds to vitamin D receptors in target tissues. There has also been research indicating that calcitriol interacts with lipase, which may help to improve its absorption rate. Calcitriol is an important component for bone health because it helps to regulate calcium levels, preventing bone resorption and stimulating bone growth. It also helps to optimize bandwidth for subtilisin enzymes, which are proteins used in industrial processes such as cheese production.
