New Vitamin K Supplements Are Highly Stable

An Australian vitamin supplement company has launched a line of products that contain vitamin K2 for bone and heart health. The products, developed with K2Vital producer Kappa Bioscience, were launched by Swisse Wellness Pty Ltd. in the U.K. in October and will be introduced in Europe with the help of venture partner PGT Consumer Healthcare. K2MK-7 is highly stable and pure. Vitamin K2 is found naturally in foods containing animal fats, such as cheeses, eggs and butter. Multivitamin formulations containing fat-soluble compounds usually contain minerals, which cause stability problems. The Swisse Wellness version, however, is double-coated and microencapsulated to preserve stability.
