All-Trans Vitamin K2 MK-7

ART-BS-006 is a biosynthetic fermentation ingredient standardized for Vitamin K2 as all-trans menaquinone-7, commonly abbreviated MK-7. The product is intended for B2B use in dietary supplement systems where a consistent, low-inclusion active is required. Depending on the confirmed production lot and customer specification, the matrix may be supplied as a powder or carrier-based concentrate suitable for dry blending, capsule filling, tablet premix work, sachet systems, or functional food premixes. Procurement teams can request assay level, carrier declaration, allergen statement, residual solvent statement, and country-of-origin details before purchase.

Key specification points typically reviewed for this ingredient include MK-7 assay, all-trans isomer ratio, moisture, particle size, bulk density, heavy metals, microbial limits, and carrier compatibility. Common commercial requirements include all-trans MK-7 as the dominant isomer, controlled moisture for pouch stability, and a fine powder profile appropriate for homogeneous dispersion in low-dose formulas. Where a formulation requires a specific potency, oil dispersion, microencapsulated form, or clean-label carrier preference, ArtemisYeast can qualify available lots within the biosynthetic fermentation ingredient portfolio.

• Dietary supplement capsules and tablets: used as a low-dose active in premixes for hard capsules, compressed tablets, chewable formats, and combination formulas. R&D teams should validate blend uniformity because inclusion levels may be very low relative to excipients.
• Dry premixes and sachets: suitable for manufacturers that require a standardized MK-7 component for powder blends, provided the selected carrier, mesh profile, and flow properties match the filling line.
• Functional foods and nutrition powders: can be evaluated for fortified powder systems, beverage bases, and specialty nutrition blends where processing temperature, light exposure, and fat content are controlled during development.
• Cosmetic and personal care concepts: may be assessed by formulators for non-therapeutic topical or beauty-from-within product concepts, subject to local regulatory and labeling review.
• Contract manufacturing: supplied for CMOs needing 5 kg foil pouch packaging, lot-specific documentation, and repeatable sourcing for private-label supplement programs.

Vitamin K2 MK-7 is sensitive to light, oxygen, heat, and alkaline conditions. Store sealed pouches in a cool, dry warehouse, typically below 25°C, away from direct sunlight, steam lines, oxidizing materials, and strong odors. After opening, minimize headspace exposure, reseal promptly, and use clean, dry utensils to avoid contamination or moisture pickup. For production areas with high humidity, partial pouch use should be controlled through a documented dispensing procedure.

Typical shelf life is up to 24 months from manufacture when the product remains in the original unopened foil pouch under recommended storage conditions; the confirmed retest or expiry date is stated on the lot CoA. Because MK-7 is used at low dosage, plant teams should validate premix dilution steps, sieve compatibility, electrostatic behavior, and mixing time before full-scale manufacture. Light-reducing packaging and controlled process hold times are recommended for finished products.

ART-BS-006 is supplied for professional manufacturing use with lot-based quality documentation. A Certificate of Analysis is available on request and may include assay, all-trans MK-7 ratio, appearance, moisture, ash where applicable, particle size or mesh guidance, heavy metals, total plate count, yeast and mold, coliforms, and absence of specified pathogens according to the agreed specification. Typical internal release targets may include low moisture, food-grade microbial limits, and trace contaminant compliance suitable for supplement manufacturing review.

ArtemisYeast supports procurement due diligence with documentation available on request, including food-grade statement, allergen statement, non-GMO statement where applicable, residual solvent information, material safety data, and manufacturing-flow information. HACCP-aligned and ISO 22000, FSSC 22000, Halal, or Kosher documentation can be reviewed when available for the selected manufacturing route and lot. Buyers may submit vendor questionnaires through our quality documentation process. Final suitability for a market, label, or dosage format remains the responsibility of the brand owner and manufacturer.
