Description

Vitamin K1 (Phylloquinone) is a fat-soluble vitamin essential for the synthesis of blood clotting factors and bone metabolism. It serves as a critical raw material for pharmaceutical formulations, nutritional supplements, and animal feed premixes. This high-purity compound is vital for manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and veterinary industries requiring a reliable and consistent supply for their production processes.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Manufacturing: Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) in formulations for treating and preventing vitamin K deficiency and associated bleeding disorders (e.g., warfarin overdose).
• Dietary Supplements & Nutraceuticals: Key ingredient in multivitamin complexes, standalone supplements, and functional foods aimed at supporting bone health and cardiovascular function.
• Animal Nutrition & Feed Additives: Essential vitamin premix component for poultry, swine, and aquaculture to ensure proper blood coagulation, prevent hemorrhagic disease, and promote growth.
• Cosmeceutical Formulations: Incorporated into skincare products for its purported benefits in reducing dark under-eye circles and improving skin appearance.
• Research & Development: Standard reference material and biochemical reagent for clinical, nutritional, and metabolic studies in laboratory settings.
