Usage

Description

Menaquinones, also known as Vitamin K2, are isoprenoid quinones belonging to the naphthalene series and are part of the K2 Vitamin homologs. They were initially discovered as an anti-hemorrhagic factor and have since been found to play a role in various physiological processes. Menaquinone 10 is the predominant form found in various bacteria isolated from soil.

Uses

Used in Pharmaceutical Industry:
Menaquinones are used as a vitamin supplement for their role in the synthesis of proteins necessary for blood clotting and bone metabolism. They are essential in the gamma-carboxylation of glutamic acid residues in proteins, which is crucial for their biological activity.
Used in Nutritional Supplements:
Menaquinones are used as additives in the food and dietary supplement industry to enhance the vitamin K content of products, promoting overall health and well-being.
Used in Research and Development:
Menaquinones are utilized in scientific research to study their potential benefits in various physiological processes, including bone health, cardiovascular health, and blood clotting mechanisms.
Used in Veterinary Medicine:
Menaquinones are also used in the veterinary industry as a supplement to ensure the proper health and development of animals, particularly in relation to their bone and cardiovascular systems.
