Product Overview
Menatetrenone MK-4 Vitamin K2 is a menaquinone-4 ingredient commonly used in supplement and formulation sourcing projects where buyers need MK-4 as a distinct vitamin K2 route rather than menaquinone-7.
It is usually supplied in powder or oil-based commercial formats, and buyers often review assay basis, dosage-form compatibility, commercial form, and document scope before technical or commercial evaluation.
It is commonly considered for tablets, capsules, softgels, and related nutrition products, with sample support and batch documentation available for sourcing reference.
Applications
Tablets & Capsules
Suitable for tablet and capsule projects where buyers need menatetrenone as a defined MK-4 route with clear specification control.
Softgels
Can be considered for softgel systems where the purchasing focus is on commercial form, dosage compatibility, and batch-level consistency.
Nutritional Formulas
Suitable for nutrition products where buyers need MK-4 as a distinct vitamin K2 ingredient rather than a menaquinone-7 route.
Formulation Projects
Can be supplied for formulation screening and commercial sourcing where technical teams review assay basis, pack format, and document readiness before scale-up.
How to Choose the Right Grade / Form
Choose MK-4
When the project specifically requires menatetrenone / menaquinone-4 as an independent vitamin K2 route.
Choose synthetic MK-7
When the project needs menaquinone-7 with stable synthetic commercial supply logic.
Choose natural natto MK-7
When the project needs fermentation-origin, natural-source MK-7 positioning.
Technical & Formulation Notes
Technical Notes
MK-4 is generally positioned as an independent vitamin K2 route with its own sourcing logic, rather than as a substitute page for MK-7.
In commercial review, the main concern is whether the selected menatetrenone specification matches the intended dosage form, market route, and supporting document requirements.
Manufacturing & Process
The product is commonly supplied as a menatetrenone ingredient prepared for commercial supplement and formulation use.
For sourcing review, process discussion is usually linked to assay basis, commercial form, packaging suitability, and batch consistency.
Compatibility / Formulation Notes
For tablets and capsules, confirm the selected assay basis and dosage-form fit before final commercial approval.
For softgels, review oil compatibility, target dosage, and storage expectations in the intended system.
For formulation projects, confirm commercial form, packaging logic, and document scope according to the intended route.
Protect from moisture, heat, and prolonged light exposure according to the agreed specification.
Extended QC & Test Items
Typical review points may include assay basis, appearance, carrier system where applicable, related substances, moisture-related handling for powder forms, and supporting documents such as COA, SDS/MSDS, and TDS/specification sheet.
