The Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) has officially approved the use of Vitamin K2 in Food for Special Medical Purposes (FSMP). This milestone underscores the growing recognition of Vitamin K2 as a source of Vitamin K, providing an essential nutrient for individuals with specific medical needs.
MenaQ7®: A Superior Form of Vitamin K2
MenaQ7®, the most clinically validated brand of Vitamin K2 as Menaquinone-7 (MK-7), is a leading ingredient in this category, offering superior bioavailability and long-lasting activity in the body. Unlike Vitamin K1, which is primarily associated with blood clotting, vitamin K2 plays a crucial role in activating proteins that regulate calcium utilization, ensuring that calcium is directed to the bones rather than accumulating in arteries. This function makes it especially beneficial for aging populations, individuals with osteoporosis, and those at risk of cardiovascular diseases.
Enhancing Nutrition with MenaQ7®
With FSANZ’s approval, healthcare professionals and medical nutrition brands can now incorporate Vitamin K2 into foods for special medical purpose formulations, providing dietary/nutrition enhanced support for patients with certain diseases, disorders, or medical conditions under the supervision of a medical practitioner and other appropriate health professionals. The inclusion of MenaQ7® ensures that individuals receive a scientifically backed, high-quality source of Vitamin K2, contributing to bone health, cardiovascular health, improved bone strength, arterial flexibility, and overall well-being. As awareness of Vitamin K2’s benefits continues to grow, this approval marks a significant step in making advanced nutritional solutions more accessible to those who need them most.
