Vitamin K2 MK-7 Specifications

The current product specification and batch COA should be used as the reference for commercial orders.

Available Vitamin K2 MK-7 Grades

MK-7 raw material can be supplied according to the required active concentration, delivery format, and isomer specification.

For a new project, buyers should confirm the following before selecting a grade:

• Required MK-7 assay
• All-trans requirement
• Carrier or delivery system, if applicable
• Finished-product dosage
• Manufacturing format
• Analytical requirements

If your formulation requires a specific concentration or all-trans level, include the target specification in your inquiry so the appropriate material can be confirmed.

What Is Vitamin K2 MK-7?

Vitamin K2 MK-7 is menaquinone-7, one particular member of the vitamin K2 family.

Vitamin K includes phylloquinone, commonly called vitamin K1, and several menaquinones classified as vitamin K2. MK-4, MK-7, and MK-9 are different compounds within this group.

For raw material purchasing, “Vitamin K2” alone does not identify the exact ingredient. A specification for MK-7 should state Menaquinone-7 / MK-7.

The commonly referenced CAS number for menaquinone-7 is 2124-57-4.

MK-7 Compared with Other Vitamin K Forms

These forms should be treated as separate ingredients during formulation and purchasing.

If the finished product specification calls for MK-7, purchasing a generic vitamin K material can lead to a mismatch between the raw material and the finished-product label.

All-Trans Vitamin K2 MK-7

For MK-7, isomer composition can be an important specification.

Menaquinone-7 may occur in different geometric forms. Total MK-7 assay and all-trans MK-7 content therefore provide different information about the raw material.

When an all-trans MK-7 grade is required, the purchasing specification should define:

• Total MK-7 assay
• All-trans MK-7 content
• Isomer test method
• Acceptance range

This requirement should be confirmed before the material is approved for production.

Vitamin K2 MK-7 Applications

MK-7 powder is used in a range of nutritional products.

Vitamin K2 Supplements

Suitable for standalone K2 capsules, tablets, and other dietary supplement formats.

D3 + K2 Formulas

MK-7 can be used as the vitamin K2 component in products combining vitamin D3 and K2.

Multivitamins

It can be incorporated into broader vitamin and mineral formulations.

Mineral-Based Products

MK-7 may be included in formulas containing calcium, magnesium, or other nutritional ingredients.

Premixes

A defined MK-7 concentration can be used in premixes prepared for capsule, tablet, or other finished-product manufacturing.

Formulation Considerations

MK-7 is commonly incorporated at relatively low levels in finished products. Accurate dosing and uniform distribution are therefore important during blending.

Formulators should review:

• Raw material concentration
• Carrier composition
• Particle characteristics
• Mixing procedure
• Premix concentration
• Finished-product dosage
• Blend uniformity
• Packaging conditions

The appropriate grade depends on the manufacturing process and the composition of the finished formula.

Vitamin D3 + MK-7 Formulation

D3 + K2 products contain two separate active ingredients, so their raw material potencies need to be calculated independently.

For MK-7, the amount added to a batch depends on the concentration of the supplied ingredient and the target amount per serving.

Before pilot production, confirm:

This approach helps the formulation team work from the actual raw material specification rather than an assumed concentration.

Laboratory Testing

Quality testing for Vitamin K2 MK-7 can cover both the active ingredient and other parameters defined by the product specification.

Depending on the agreed requirements, testing may include:

• Identity
• MK-7 assay
• All-trans MK-7
• Isomer profile
• Appearance
• Moisture
• Microbiological parameters
• Heavy metals
• Residual solvents, where applicable

The exact testing panel depends on the grade, application, and destination market.

COA and Technical Documents

A Certificate of Analysis (COA) provides the test results for a specific production batch.

Depending on the project, technical documentation may include:

• COA
• Product specification
• TDS
• SDS/MSDS
• Analytical information
• Storage conditions
• Packaging information

For supplier approval, buyers can compare the batch COA with the agreed specification before releasing the material for production.

Bulk Vitamin K2 MK-7 Supply

For a commercial quotation, provide the details that define the required material:

Ingredient: Vitamin K2 MK-7 / Menaquinone-7
Required assay: Target concentration
Isomer: All-trans requirement, if applicable
Quantity: Estimated order volume
Application: Capsule, tablet, premix, etc.
Packaging: Required pack size
Destination: Country or region
Documents: COA, TDS, SDS/MSDS, or other requirements

Samples can be arranged when a formulation team needs to test the ingredient before moving to production quantities.

Packaging

Typical packaging options include:

• 1 kg foil bag
• 5 kg package
• 25 kg drum

The final packaging format can be selected according to order quantity, storage conditions, and customer handling requirements.

Storage and Shelf Life

Vitamin K2 MK-7 should be stored according to the current product specification.

Keep the material in a cool, dry environment and protect it from unsuitable exposure to heat, moisture, and direct light.

The stated shelf life is 24 months under the specified storage conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Vitamin K2 MK-7?

Vitamin K2 MK-7 is menaquinone-7, a specific form of vitamin K2 used in nutritional supplement formulations.

What is the CAS number of MK-7?

Menaquinone-7 is commonly identified by CAS No. 2124-57-4.

What is the difference between MK-4 and MK-7?

MK-4 and MK-7 are different menaquinones within the vitamin K2 family. They have different chemical structures and should be specified separately.

What does all-trans Vitamin K2 MK-7 mean?

It refers to a particular geometric form of menaquinone-7. If all-trans MK-7 is required, the relevant isomer specification should be confirmed analytically.

Is MK-7 water soluble?

MK-7 is generally insoluble in water. The formulation system should take this characteristic into account when selecting the finished-product format.

Can MK-7 be used with Vitamin D3?

Yes. MK-7 is commonly used as the vitamin K2 component in D3 + K2 nutritional products.

Can MK-7 be used in capsules?

Yes. It can be incorporated into capsule formulations as well as tablets and premixes.
