Description

Menadionebisulphite is a water-soluble derivative of vitamin K3, widely used as a vital nutritional supplement and feed additive. Its primary value lies in its role as a precursor for the synthesis of active vitamin K, which is essential for blood coagulation and bone metabolism. This compound is particularly important for the animal feed, pharmaceutical, and nutritional supplement industries, where it is utilized to prevent vitamin K deficiency and support overall health.

Application

• Animal Feed Additive: A key source of vitamin K activity in poultry, swine, and aquaculture feed to prevent hemorrhagic disorders and support proper blood clotting.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Serves as a crucial starting material or intermediate in the synthesis of various vitamin K-based pharmaceutical products.
• Nutritional Supplements: Incorporated into vitamin premixes and human dietary supplements to ensure adequate vitamin K intake.
• Aquaculture and Veterinary Medicine: Used to treat and prevent vitamin K deficiency syndromes in farmed fish and livestock.
• Poultry Industry: Essential for preventing chick mortality and improving bone health and growth rates in broilers and layers.
• Research & Development: Employed in biochemical research and as a standard in analytical laboratories for quality control of vitamin K products.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after each use to prevent moisture absorption. Recommended storage temperature is between 15°C and 25°C (59°F and 77°F). Keep away from incompatible materials.
