Vitamin K2 MK-4 Powder

Premium Vitamin K2 MK-4: Your Strategic Partner for Bone Health Formulas

Finding a true partner for your bone health ingredients is more than a transaction. You need a source with real expertise and a supply chain that delivers, consistently. That’s where we come in. We provide high-quality, synthetic Vitamin K2 MK-4 powder, bridging advanced nutritional science with reliable, scalable supply. As the key activator for the body’s calcium regulation, our MK-4 is backed by a fully-audited network and practical formulation support. It’s how we help reduce your development risk and speed up your time to market for effective bone density support supplements and cardiovascular health products.

The Science of MK-4: Precision Calcium Management

Think of Vitamin K2 MK-4 (Menaquinone-4) not just as an ingredient, but as a biological director. Its core, proven function is to activate specific proteins that manage calcium placement in the body.

• Osteocalcin (The Bone Builder): Activated by MK-4, this protein binds calcium and pulls it directly into the bone matrix. This carboxylation process is non-negotiable for building dense, strong bone—making it foundational for any serious osteoporosis prevention formula.
• Matrix Gla Protein - MGP (The Artery Cleaner): MK-4 also switches on MGP, the body’s primary defense against vascular calcification. It works to keep arteries flexible by preventing calcium deposits where they don’t belong, a critical mechanism for advanced cardiovascular health supplements.

Simply put, MK-4 directs calcium where it’s needed: into bone, away from arteries. This targeted, dual-action is why it’s a cornerstone for formulas that demand evidence-based efficacy.

Supply Engineered for Consistency & Value

Our Vitamin K2 MK-4 is produced via advanced chemical synthesis, resulting in a bioidentical form that matches the MK-4 found in food sources.

This approach translates into tangible benefits for your brand:

• Unbeatable Batch-to-Batch Consistency: You get the same high purity, every single order. We offer 1%, 1.3%, and 98% active grades to fit different needs, whether you’re developing a mainstream multivitamin or a potent, high-dose vitamin K2 blend. This reliability simplifies your QC and ensures product performance your customers can trust.
• Honest Cost Efficiency: Let’s be practical. The synthetic pathway makes MK-4 one of the most cost-effective forms of Vitamin K2 available. This allows you to formulate science-backed, potent products—from targeted bone complexes to affordable bone health supplements—without sacrificing your margins.
• Supply Chain Security You Can Build On: Disruptions happen. Our multi-source, rigorously audited network is designed to mitigate these risks for you. We manage the complexity upstream, providing the stability required for launching products in regulated markets like EU Novel Food compliant supplements and FDA-listed dietary ingredients.

While MK-4 is ideal for cost-conscious, higher-dose applications, we also supply fermented Vitamin K2 MK-7 for formulas requiring sustained, 24-hour activity from a single dose.

Specifications & Compliance: Clear and Actionable

Your compliance and NPD teams need clarity. Our MK-4 is a fine, free-flowing powder (white to pale yellow) that meets exacting standards suitable for pharmaceutical-grade vitamin K2 MK-4 applications.

• Purity & Flexible Grades: Select from 1% (for high-dose blends), 1.3%, or 98% active MK-4. This flexibility supports both bulk supplement manufacturing and the development of premium concentrated products.
• Compliance That Simplifies Market Entry: Sourced from GMP-certified Vitamin K2 MK-4 facilities, the material aligns with FDA expectations and meets EU Novel Food requirements for K2 MK-4. This clears a straightforward path to market in North America and Europe.
• Proven Stability for Reliable Manufacturing: It demonstrates strong stability under standard processing conditions (mixing, tableting) when stored correctly. The result? Fewer headaches in production and a reliable shelf life for your tablet and capsule vitamin K2 formulations.

Formulation in Practice: Versatile & Pragmatic

An ingredient must work with your process. Our MK-4 is designed for practicality.

• Broad Application Suitability: Excellent for hard and softgel capsules, tablets, and powder blends. The 1% and 1.3% grades are staples for dedicated bone health formulas, while the 98% grade is precision-engineered for ultra-concentrated, advanced products.
• Seamless Compatibility: It blends well with other major nutraceuticals—think calcium (carbonate or citrate), vitamin D3, magnesium—and common excipients. Typical vitamin K2 and calcium combinations don’t present significant issues with moisture, pH, or incompatibility in standard blends.
• Dosage Anchored in Clinical Research: The robust clinical dossier on MK-4, including well-known Japanese osteoporosis studies, utilizes higher doses (typically ~45 mg/day). This provides a solid, defensible framework for your own dosage strategies and claim substantiation in evidence-based bone health products.

The Clinical Backbone: Substantial & Specific Science

The science behind our MK-4 isn’t generic. It’s built on human clinical trials that specifically used MK-4 at higher doses to demonstrate clear outcomes for bone mineral density and fracture reduction. This specific clinical legacy gives you a powerful, defensible platform for claims, allowing confident communication with healthcare practitioners and informed consumers—a key differentiator for science-backed supplement brands.

Our Partnership: Your Extended Quality & Compliance Team

We operate as an extension of your quality team. Our Quality Partnership Program involves deep collaboration with our manufacturing partners on auditing, protocols, and validation. Every batch is supported by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA), providing verified potency, heavy metals well below Prop 65/global thresholds, and full microbiological specs—delivering COA-verified vitamin K2 MK-4 batches that ensure safe, compliant vitamin K2 ingredients.

We provide the full documentation package (spec sheets, stability data, regulatory guidance) to streamline your audits and filings. It’s a transparent, audit-ready supply chain designed for global supplement distribution, without the back-and-forth hassle.
