MENACHINOX® is a series of premium preparations using patented vitamin formulas. The ingredients used are of natural origin and the compositions have been refined for best assimilability. In addition, MENACHINOX® preparations are free of casein, lactose, gluten, yeast, gelatine, salt, artificial colouring agents and sweeteners. The secret of MENACHINOX® preparations is vitamin K2 (MK-7), which is extracted from the traditional Japanese soybean product Natto, through a biofermentation process using natural cultures of Bacillus subtilis ssp. Natto bacteria (Natto producer Mitzkan Co LtD , Japan).
The highly stable form of vitamin K2 used in MENACHINOX®, menaquinone-7 (MK-7), unlike others, has the ability to accumulate in the blood, resulting in highly efficient transport of calcium from the blood to the bones and thus maintaining normal bone density. A stable form of K2 (MK-7) is also necessary for proteins that regulate calcium levels in the arteries.
Recently published research on a special form of vitamin K2, MK-7, has revealed its unique effect and potential beneficial effects on heart disease and bone metabolism. Vitamin K2 as MK-7 is a key factor in the regulation of calcium metabolism in the body. Insufficient levels of vitamin K2 (MK-7) lead to a reduction in bone mineral density (osteoporosis), as well as the accumulation of calcium in the walls of the arteries, causing them to calcify and increasing the risk of heart disease. The manufacturer of vitaMK7 used in MENACHINOX® is the Italian biotechnology company – Gnosis. www.gnosis-bio.com, www.vitamk7.com. Vitamin K2 belongs to the Novel food category. vitaMK7® is authorized by EFSA and the European Commission and approved in the European Union. vitaMK7® is produced in a completely natural way without the use of chemical solvents. vitaMK7® is the purest vitamin K2 on the market – > 99% HPLC compared to 95% for synthetic or crystalline K2.
