High-purity reference materials for accurate and reliable residue analysis

Overview

Ergocalciferol, also known as vitamin D2 and nonspecifically as calciferol, is a type of vitamin D found in food and used as a dietary supplement. It is essential for laboratories conducting food and environmental analysis to ensure compliance with regulatory limits.

Uses

Ergocalciferol is used to prevent and treat vitamin D deficiency, which includes deficiency due to poor absorption by the intestines or liver disease. It may also be used for low blood calcium due to hypoparathyroidism. It is administered orally or via intramuscular injection.

Regulatory

Ergocalciferol is available as a generic medication and over the counter. It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines. In some countries, certain foods such as breakfast cereals and margarine have ergocalciferol added to them.

Monitoring

Regular monitoring of vitamin D levels in blood is essential for individuals receiving ergocalciferol supplements. Laboratories must ensure the accuracy and reliability of their residue analysis to meet international quality requirements.

Health Impact

Human toxicity

Excessive doses of ergocalciferol can result in increased urine production, high blood pressure, kidney stones, kidney failure, weakness, and constipation. If high doses are taken for a long period, tissue calcification may occur. Normal doses are safe during pregnancy.

Environmental Impact

Effects on wildlife

There is limited information on the environmental impact of ergocalciferol, particularly its effects on wildlife. Further research is needed to understand its ecological consequences fully.

Safety Measure

Proper handling and storage of ergocalciferol are crucial to ensure its efficacy and safety. Laboratories must adhere to safety guidelines and regulations to prevent contamination and ensure accurate analysis.

Regulation

Ergocalciferol is regulated as a prescription-only medication in some countries, while it is available over the counter in others. Laboratories must comply with local regulations and standards for the use and analysis of ergocalciferol.
