All-Trans Vitamin K2 MK7

ART-BS-005 is a biosynthetic Vitamin K2 ingredient standardized for all-trans menaquinone-7, commonly abbreviated MK7. It is produced by controlled microbial fermentation followed by concentration, purification, and blending into a dry powder format suitable for ingredient handling. For related fermentation-derived materials, procurement teams can review the biosynthetic fermentation category.

Typical commercial specifications may include Vitamin K2 MK7 assay by HPLC, all-trans isomer ratio of not less than 98% within the MK7 fraction, moisture not more than 5.0%, and controlled peroxide value when supplied in an oil-dispersible or encapsulated powder system. Common carrier options include starch, gum arabic, or medium-chain triglyceride powder systems, depending on the formulation target. Particle size is generally managed for blending performance, with 80 mesh pass options available for powder applications. Microbiological limits, heavy metals, residual solvents, and allergen statements are confirmed lot by lot through a certificate of analysis.

• Cosmetic active ingredients: suitable for creams, serums, emulsions, anhydrous balms, and beauty-from-within concepts where a defined Vitamin K2 MK7 ingredient is required for label-friendly positioning and controlled color contribution.
• Supplement manufacturing: compatible with capsules, tablets, sachets, softgel pre-blends, and premix systems when used in accordance with the buyer’s regulatory market and formulation limits.
• Functional foods: used in dry beverage mixes, nutrition powders, fortified oils, and controlled-dose food matrices where heat exposure, oxygen pickup, and light exposure are managed during processing.
• R&D and pilot production: supplied in 5 kg foil pouches for laboratory validation, scale-up trials, stability screening, and ingredient comparison before full container procurement.
• Contract manufacturing: appropriate for buyers needing repeatable lot traceability, pre-shipment documentation, and specification alignment before release to a finished product plant.

Store ART-BS-005 in the original sealed foil pouch at 2-8 °C where possible, protected from direct light, oxygen, heat, and high humidity. If refrigerated storage is not available during short internal transfers, keep the pouch tightly closed in a cool, dry, low-odor warehouse and return unused material to controlled storage promptly. Avoid repeated opening cycles; nitrogen flushing after sampling is recommended for oxygen-sensitive formulations.

Typical shelf life is 24 months from manufacture when stored unopened under recommended conditions, subject to final lot documentation. After opening, use the material as quickly as practical and follow the buyer’s internal retest protocol. For emulsions or oil-based cosmetic systems, pre-dispersion trials are recommended to confirm color, odor, and uniformity. For dry blends, validate blend time and segregation risk because low-dose actives require controlled premixing.

ArtemisYeast supplies ART-BS-005 as an inquiry-only B2B ingredient with specification review before order confirmation. Available documentation can include certificate of analysis, product specification, safety data sheet, food-grade or cosmetic-use statement where applicable, allergen statement, non-GMO statement where applicable, and origin or manufacturing flow summary. Manufacturing and quality files may reference HACCP-aligned controls, ISO 22000, FSSC 22000, Halal, or Kosher documentation when available for the selected lot and site; buyers should confirm requirements before purchase through the quality documentation process.

Typical release testing covers assay and identity by HPLC, all-trans MK7 ratio, moisture, ash or carrier confirmation as applicable, microbial count, yeast and mold, coliforms, pathogens, arsenic, lead, cadmium, mercury, and residual solvents where relevant to the process. ArtemisYeast supports procurement review for sample requests, target assay, packaging, and export documentation.
