Vitamin K is a vital fat-soluble vitamin that plays an essential role in blood coagulation and bone metabolism. It consists mainly of two natural forms: phylloquinone (Vitamin K1), which is derived from green leafy vegetables, and menaquinone (Vitamin K2), found in fermented foods and animal products. Commonly used in dietary supplements and food additives, Vitamin K is crucial for maintaining healthy blood clotting and bone health.
The production process of Vitamin K typically involves extracting natural sources such as green vegetables or fermentation of specific bacteria and microorganisms. After extraction, it undergoes purification and concentration using methods like chromatography to ensure the active component's potency and purity.
Vitamin K is widely applied in various scenarios. In nutrition, it is often included in supplements to support cardiovascular health, bone density, and overall well-being. In the food industry, it is used for fortifying products and promoting health benefits. Additionally, it finds applications in animal feed to ensure adequate nutrition for livestock and poultry.
For packaging, Vitamin K is stored under specific conditions to maintain its efficacy. It should be sealed, protected from light, and kept in a dry, cool, and well-ventilated area to avoid exposure to high temperatures. The product is available in bulk packaging of 25 kg paper drums or in sample sizes of 1 kg aluminum foil bags, with options for customized packaging based on customer needs. It can be shipped using methods like FedEx, DHL, dedicated logistics, and sea freight consolidation. The product has a validity period of two years, ensuring its usability within this timeframe.
