Vitamin D2-d6 is an isotopically labeled form of vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol), a fat-soluble vitamin essential for calcium metabolism and bone health. It is synthesized by exposing ergosterol to deuterium gas, replacing specific hydrogen atoms with deuterium isotopes. Vitamin D2-d6 is used as an internal standard in analytical chemistry and pharmacokinetic studies to quantify vitamin D levels accurately. Research involving vitamin D2-d6 focuses on metabolism, bioavailability, and optimizing analytical methods for vitamin D analysis in biological samples.
