Vitamins are vital to human health. Vitamin supplements have become an integral part of our lives to maintain the required nutritional levels in our body for a healthy lifestyle. However, the ingredients used in these supplements have to go through several purification and refining steps. Activated carbon is preferably used for refining of a number of vitamin supplements. For instance, in the case of ascorbic and folic acids, activated carbon is used for decolourization and removal of impurities and proteins. In vitamin B complex tablets, activated carbon is used to refine inositol prepared from corn steep liquor. And, in case of synthetic niacin, activated carbon is used for removal of organic intermediates.
