| Introduction |
|
| MenaquinGold is natural Vitamin K2 known as menaquinone (MK-7, Vitamin K2-7). It is manufactured by Synergia Life Sciences a subsidiary of Viridis Biopharma in Mumbai, India, using proprietary fermentation technology in a dedicated GMP facility. |

| Decades of testing and over 300 published studies prove that Vitamin K2 is an essential nutrient. Without sufficient vitamin K2 intake, the population will suffer from cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, prostate cancer, etc. It is, in addition, an essential nutrient to supplement as our dietary intake of this compound is dangerously low. Vitamin K2 thus embodies the purpose and the spirit of the Dietary Supplement industry itself, it is essential for health and supplementation is required. |

Recognizing this, several companies have pursued the production of commercial, bulk vitamin K2; this is no easy task. Unfortunately many have failed. Natural vitamin K2 comes from fermentation, specifically natto fermentation. It is manufactured by a proprietary submerged fermentation process using also bacillus specie. During this fermentation process, other compounds are also produced and released into the media, including other forms of vitamin K. The target compound (vitamin K2-7) can easily be lost in this mixture, think about a literal needle in a haystack. Even if you do find it, how do you know you have it? This requires a proven analytical/detection method.
Without a proper detection method, it is next to impossible to validate a manufacturing process as you cannot be sure that vitamin K2-7 is being produced. This is where most manufacturers are failing. They believe they are producing K2, but without the validated detection method, they cannot be certain and they cannot test for parameters such as stability, concentration, analogs, etc. |
