Vitamin K1 (Phytomenadione)
Vitamin K1 (Phytomenadione, CAS 84-80-0) is the primary dietary form of Vitamin K, indispensable for the synthesis of blood coagulation factors and hepatic health.
Description
Comprehensive Product Overview
In the competitive landscape of hematology and infant wellness, the speed of coagulation factor activation defines the final outcome. Zyntex Vitamin K1 is selected for its essential role as a cofactor in the gamma-carboxylation of glutamic acid residues on prothrombin (Factor II) and Factors VII, IX, and X. Therefore, we provide a high-purity viscous oil or stabilized powder that acts as a robust catalyst for hepatic protein synthesis. Consequently, this versatile nutrient delivers reliable performance across a wide range of clinical conditions, ensuring the prevention of Vitamin K Deficiency Bleeding (VKDB) in newborns and the rapid reversal of anticoagulant-induced hemorrhages.
Zyntex supplies Vitamin K1 in a clean, yellow to amber viscous liquid form or as a cold-water-dispersible (CWD) powder, optimized for easy integration into complex parenteral emulsions, pediatric oral drops, and fortified infant formulas. Our stringent quality control measures ensure a precise “trans-isomer” profile, which is the biologically active form required for effective therapy. Furthermore, this product features excellent stability when protected from light, maintaining its potency in multi-component vitamin premixes. Since it is effective at restoring normal hemostasis within hours, you can incorporate it into various “emergency care” or “maternal-fetal” product lines without affecting the metabolic safety or the absorption rate of the final dosage form.
From specialized neonatal research to large-scale pharmaceutical manufacturing, this primary Vitamin K derivative is a staple for modern clinical nutrition. Its consistent chemical profile ensures it functions effectively as a regulator of blood thinners and a supporter of liver function. As a result, Zyntex provides a dependable foundation for innovation in the “emergency medicine” and “early childhood development” markets. Finally, our commitment to ingredient quality helps your brand achieve international pharmaceutical regulatory and food safety standards effortlessly.
