Hey all,
A couple of questions on making a Vit D3 supplement at home with cholecalciferol powder (got some from Purebulk).
1) Any suggestions/tips on how to dissolve the powder in olive oil (or coconut oil)? I struggled to get the powder to dissolve in the oil simply by mixing it. Does it require low-level heat? Any resources or tips on this?
2) I also have some anhydrous ethanol (100%) I could use. I'd prefer it in olive oil so I can take it orally, but if I made a topical supplement with anhydrous (like Calcirol), I'm guessing it would be best with some fat present (being a fat soluble vitamin). Anyone got experience on homemade IdeaLabs-style supplements, and how much oil is best relative to ethanol for a D3 supplement?
Cheers
