The present patent application relates to solid particles comprising at least one fatsoluble vitamin, which are more stable when compressed into tablets.

The invention discloses a composition exhibiting enhanced bioavailability comprising tri-molecular complex of a natural compound or a natural compound containing component, a divalent or tri-valent metal ion and a phospholipid embedded in natural matrix. The composition of the invention further exhibits a sustained release profile for the natural compound or natural compound containing component. The invention further discloses a process for manufacturing the tri-molecular complex containing composition.

Disclosed are methods of purifying the compound (22E)-(24R)-2-methylene-22-dehydro-1α,24,25-trihydroxy-19-nor-vitamin D.sub.3 to obtain the compound in crystalline form. The methods typically include the steps of dissolving (22E)-(24R)-2-methylene-22-dehydro-1α,24,25-trihydroxy-19-nor-vitamin D.sub.3 in a solvent comprising ethyl acetate and hexane to form a solution, allowing crystals of (22E)-(24R)-2-methylene-22-dehydro-1α,24,25-trihydroxy-19-nor-vitamin D.sub.3 to form and precipitate from the solution, and recovering the crystals of (22E)-(24R)-2-methylene-22-dehydro-1α,24,25-trihydroxy-19-nor-vitamin D.sub.3 from the solution.
