Description

Menadiolsodiumphosphatehexahydrate CAS NO 6700-42-1 is a water-soluble, hexahydrate form of menadiol sodium phosphate, serving as a synthetic precursor to Vitamin K2 (menaquinone). This compound is critical for ensuring reliable and consistent vitamin K activity in various formulations. It is primarily required by manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and animal feed industries for producing supplements and therapeutic agents.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Key starting material in the synthesis of Vitamin K2 (menaquinone) and other vitamin K analogs for medicinal use.
• Dietary Supplements: Used as a source of vitamin K activity in multivitamin and mineral formulations, including tablets and capsules.
• Animal Nutrition: Incorporated into premixes and feed additives to support blood coagulation and bone health in livestock and poultry.
• Biochemical Research: Employed as a standard or reagent in studies related to vitamin K metabolism, coagulation factors, and bone biology.
• Cosmeceuticals: Potential ingredient in topical formulations aimed at improving skin health and reducing the appearance of bruising.

Quality Control

Our Menadiolsodiumphosphatehexahydrate is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets high-purity standards suitable for pharmaceutical and nutritional applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles are provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture.
