Stable and Soluble Vitamin K2 MK-7
Vitamin K2 is an essential vitamin for bone health and growth, as well as cardiovascular health. Vitamin K2, is primarily found in fermented foods like natto and cheonggukjang, is a rare find in modern diets.
To tackle the challenge of insufficient intake of Vitamin K2 MK-7 in modern diets, we’ve pioneered unique fermentation, purification, and cutting-edge formulation techniques utilizing the Bacillus subtilis natto strain, traditionally found in Korean cuisine like cheonggukjang. Through these advancements, we’ve mastered the mass production of MediQ7®, boasting world-class quality and exceptional storage stability.
As we approach the final stages of production process for bioactive material like Vitamin K2, advanced formulation expertise is crucial. This necessity arises because some valuable bioactive constituents may degrade upon interaction with specific materials. Furthermore, the solubility challenges posed by certain active ingredients can limit their application in water-based products.
Formulation technology serves as the key to surmounting these obstacles. GF Fermentech possesses the formulation technology to ensure the stable integration of active ingredients into a diverse range of applications tailored to their needs. UltraShield technology and AquaSolvation technology are the one of the finest formulation technologies in GF Fermentech.
UltraShield Technology : Perfect solution for combining Vitamin K2 MK-7 with alkali minerals to protect MK-7 molecule from decomposition
Vitamin K2 is commonly formulated with alkali minerals like calcium, magnesium. However, it has a risk of decomposition when in contact with these alkali minerals, potentially leading to insufficient concentration label claims. It has been reported that the degradation of Vitamin K2 by alkaline minerals is observed in the majority of commercial Vitamin K2 products, resulting in a deficiency in labeled concentrations throughout the product’s shelf life.

UltraShield technology ensures Vitamin K2 MK-7 maintains its exceptional storage stability throughout the shelf life of the product, satisfying the demand for stable Vitamin K2 MK-7 in formulations with alkali minerals. Therefore, it facilitates seamless integration into high – quality organic health foods and dietary supplements, which includes alkali minerals like calcium.
This innovative technology safeguards MK-7 without the need for chemical coatings, additives, and extra ingredients such as hydrocolloids. In other words, it ensures CLEAN LABEL, enabling products to enter the market with superior quality and cost-efficient manufacturing.
AquaSolvation Technology : Perfect solution for application of Vitamin K2 MK-7 into aqueous products rapidly and uniformly
With increasing demand for applying vitamins to a wide range of forms such as gummies, dairy products, GF Fermentech introduces AquaSolvation technology, making Vitamin K2 MK-7 uniformly and transparently solubilized in aqueous products within a few seconds. This satisfies the growing demand for nutrient intake through diverse formulations.
Through these innovative formulation technologies, we produce a high-quality, naturally fermented and trustworthy Vitamin K2 MK-7 with excellent stability and versatile applicability.
