Varieties
The MenaQ7® product range has evolved over the years thanks to the pioneering of new production technologies:
Naturally derived Vitamin K2 as MK-7 uses a fermentation medium with chickpea protein and Bacillus licheniformis. The result is a MenaQ7® variety free from all known allergens including soy. A proprietary multi-step process of purification, condensation, and crystallization produces a product that is more than 96% pure, natural, all-trans MK-7. In addition, MenaQ7® Natural is:
- Non-GMO certified
- Suitable for Vegans and Vegetarians
- Gluten free
- All-trans MK-7
Thanks to a proprietary technological breakthrough, MenaQ7® Full Spectrum provides the vital menaquinone isomers MK-6, 7 and 9 for optimal and maximal delivery of Vitamin K2 with respect to absorption, half-life and biological activity.
The first and only Vitamin K2 to deliver a gamut of menaquinone isomers, MenaQ7® Full Spectrum is naturally fermented using chickpea protein, offering an all-trans Vitamin K2 that is free from gluten, soy and all-known allergens, and is suitable for vegans and vegetarians.
An award-winning, nature-identical synthetic Vitamin K2, MenaQ7® PharmPure is the only all-trans synthetic available.
Bioequivalent to the soy and natural chickpea preparations, the MenaQ7® PharmaPure product line offers provides the same technical and clinical benefits, including being free from all known allergens, but at a sensitive price point.
A uniquely rich dietary source of Vitamin K2 as MK-7 is the Japanese fermented soybean dish called natto. NattoPharma is re-launching its natural soy based MenaQ7® Vitamin K2 product offering to ensure the increasingly diversified market is supplied with an ingredient matching their K2 needs.
MenaQ7® Natto is manufactured using a soybean protein substrate for Bacillus subtilis fermentation. The MK-7 is extracted using the proprietary multi-step process of purification and condensation, leading to an unparalleled 96% active all-trans soy fermented ingredient that is further blended in oils or powders.
