Vitamin Standards

Vitamins are a kind of trace organic substances necessary to maintain good health. It can maintain the normal physiological functions of humans and animals, play an important role in growth, metabolism, and development, and can participate in the formation of cells or provide energy. The discovery of vitamins is an important milestone in the field of life sciences. Lack of vitamins can cause problems in some functions of the living body, and even cause some serious diseases. The vitamins needed by the living body must be supplemented through food, and the content of vitamins in natural foods is relatively small.

Therefore, vitamin supplements can make up for vitamins that cannot be supplemented by food. Vitamin standards play an important role in vitamin extraction and vitamin synthesis.

Application fields

Vitamin extraction: Vitamins come from a wide range of sources, most of which are extracted from food. Different food contain different types and contents of vitamins. In order to maximize profits, it is necessary to use food with high vitamin content as extracts. The content and types of vitamins can be compared and analyzed using vitamin standards, and more economical raw materials can be selected to extract vitamins.
Vitamin synthesis: In the pharmaceutical industry, some vitamins can be produced in large quantities through synthesis, such as vitamin A and vitamin C. In the synthesis process, the vitamin standard can be used as the standard in the separation analysis, which can help to analyze the synthesis yield and product purity. It is also very necessary to use standard substances to study the mechanism of vitamin derivatives in the body.
Multivitamin products: A single vitamin can only supplement the deficiency of a certain vitamin, while multivitamins can be used in conjunction to achieve better effects. The determination of the types and contents of various vitamins in multivitamins can be obtained by analysis using vitamin standards as a reference.
