Description

Menaquinol 6 CAS NO 39776-48-2 is a specific, reduced form of vitamin K2, a vital nutrient essential for blood coagulation and bone metabolism. This high-purity compound is critical for formulating advanced nutritional supplements and pharmaceutical intermediates where bioavailability and stability are paramount. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, and research sectors for its superior biological activity compared to its oxidized counterpart, menaquinone.

Application

• Nutraceutical Formulations: As a key active ingredient in high-end vitamin K2 supplements, capsules, and tablets targeting bone and cardiovascular health.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Used in the synthesis of specialized pharmaceutical products requiring the bioactive, reduced form of vitamin K2.
• Clinical & Biomedical Research: Serves as a critical reference standard and reagent in studies investigating vitamin K metabolism, osteoporosis, and vascular calcification.
• Functional Food & Beverage Fortification: Incorporated into specialized food products designed to deliver targeted nutritional benefits, though stability must be carefully managed.
• Cosmeceutical Products: Potential use in topical formulations aimed at improving skin health and reducing the appearance of dark circles, leveraging its role in vascular health.

Quality Control

Our Menaquinol 6 is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets stringent specifications for high-grade applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting purity, related substances, and other critical parameters are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. For long-term stability, store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) at 2-8°C. The material is easily oxidized and light-sensitive; prolonged exposure to air, moisture, or light should be avoided to maintain potency.
