Table 2.
Particle size and particle size polydispersity index (PDI) of Vitamin D3 (VD3) loaded in TyroSpheres measured by dynamic light scattering (DLS). The TyroSpheres were examined by normalized intensity distribution for average diameter, PDI, and size distribution. The data is based on the average of 3 replications.
