Potential for MenaQ7TM in food products
MenaQ7TM is a fat-soluble vitamin with several other properties adequate for adding to certain food categories. Dairy is one obvious product group due to the strong marketing focus on calcium and bone health for such products
As menaquinones are not found naturally in plants, animals, fish, fruits or vegetables, very few food products contain adequate amounts of naturally derived MenaQ7TM. Only the Japanese food Natto contains large amounts of natural MenaQ7TM. Fortifying products with calcium, vitamin D and MenaQ7TM will give significantly better effects on bones as these three ingredients work in tandem.
Many dairy companies are concerned about not only bones but also cardiovascular health;
MenaQ7TM is thus the vitamin of choice as it influences calcium deposits in the body.
Through the effect on matrix-gla protein in arteries, MenaQ7TM inhibits depositions of calcium in arteries. Adding MenaQ7TM can give such companies an opportunity to focus on calcium deposits in vital parts of the body that represent several health problems not only bone health.
MenaQ7TM is the only approved vitamin K2. For more information about the regulatory status please click here .
