Description
Calcitriol Product Overview
Calcitriol (1α,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol, C27H44O3) is a white crystalline powder that melts at about 111–115°C. It is extremely sensitive to light, air and heat, so producers ship it under inert gas and at low temperature.
In addition, pharmaceutical companies use it in soft gelatin capsules with doses of only 0.25 or 0.5 micrograms, in oral solutions, in injections and in topical ointments. Because doses are so small, producers usually prepare dilute solutions in oil before encapsulation, and content uniformity requires careful control. Similarly, other bone-related APIs in our range include Teriparatide and Zoledronic Acid.
It is extremely potent and toxic in milligram amounts, so it requires contained handling. Zyntex therefore supplies it only to licensed pharmaceutical companies with appropriate high-potency capabilities.

⚠️ Safety & Handling: Fatal if swallowed, in contact with skin or if inhaled; causes damage to organs through prolonged exposure.

Always consult the Safety Data Sheet (SDS), because it contains the full classification and handling instructions.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does calcitriol require contained handling?
Because it is active in microgram doses and toxic in milligram amounts, even small dust exposures must be avoided.
How should buyers store and handle calcitriol?
Under inert gas, frozen or refrigerated and protected from light, because light, air and heat degrade it.
How can I get a price and documents?
Prices depend on quantity, packaging and destination, so please contact us with your required volume. We then send a quotation together with the CoA and SDS.
