The latest addition to IMPAG Iberia's broad portfolio of nutraceuticals is the vitamin MenaQ7® Matrix.
Optimal vitamin K2 from natural biotransformation: a naturally derived, allergen-free vitamin K2 in the form of menaquinone-7 (MK-7), available in various forms and in olive oil as a carrier, produced by Gnosis by Lesaffre at Nattopharma (Poland).
At the Nutraceuticals 2023 Summit & Expo, IMPAG Iberia, together with its represented company Gnosis, presented the multiple benefits of MenaQ7® Matrix.
They include greater homogeneity of the powder and better dispersibility thanks to the matrix technology, which also offers better stability and greater freedom when formulating, while allowing a short formulation without changing ingredients that do not include additives, as it is a clean label product since it only adds the active ingredient and the carrier.
The enhanced MK-7 molecule is an important element for those seeking to explore complex formulations that have a real impact on health, and is also indispensable in food supplements with vitamin D3 and calcium focused on bone health.
Vitamin K2 in the form of MK-7 has been linked to several therapeutic areas; including bone health, being indispensable in bone resorption, assimilating calcium absorption.
This in turn supports cardiovascular health by preventing calcium build-up in the arteries. Calcium build-up in the arteries can contribute to plaque formation and cardiovascular disease. Vitamin K2 is particularly helpful in preventing arteriosclerosis in dialysis patients.
It can also aid in the mineralisation of teeth and finally it supports liver health.
The demand for vitamin K2 has grown exponentially over the last 7 years in the market, occupying a position in the TOP 10 of the ranking of food supplements. This position has been achieved thanks to its multiple benefits and its application in different formats, be it traditional tablets and capsules or innovative and alternative formats such as gummy bears, liquids, chocolate bars, drops, etc.
When it is said that Vitamin K2 is optimal for all stages of life, the focus is on prevention, not just cure, as laying the foundation for healthy ageing begins in childhood.
Vitamin K2 deficiency cuts across all age groups and is recommended for postmenopausal women, pregnant women, children and adolescents.
The versatility and number of benefits that vitamin K2 provides are perfect for promoting health, activity and good habits to focus on preparing for a healthy, vibrant and energetic present and ageing.
In the light of the health crisis caused by the covid-19 virus, the nutraceutical sector in general and probiotics in particular, have experienced a growing interest thanks to their positive effect on the immune system.
