Menadione Powder is a synthetic form of vitamin K (K3) that serves as a highly effective precursor to active vitamin K2 in the body. This water-soluble compound plays a vital role in blood clotting, bone metabolism, and cardiovascular health by supporting the production of prothrombin and other vitamin K-dependent proteins. Our pharmaceutical-grade Menadione Powder offers superior stability and bioavailability compared to natural vitamin K forms, making it ideal for animal nutrition, dietary supplements, and research applications. The powder form allows for precise dosing and excellent miscibility in various formulations.

Cost-Effectiveness and Stability
Synthetic Production: As a synthetic vitamin, menadione can be produced more consistently and often more economically than naturally sourced Vitamin K forms (K1 and K2). This offers a significant cost advantage for manufacturers and end-users, particularly in large-scale applications.
Enhanced Stability
Certain forms of menadione, like Menadione Sodium Bisulfite (MSB), are water-soluble and more stable than natural Vitamin K forms. This stability is crucial for its incorporation into various products, especially animal feed, where it needs to withstand processing and storage conditions without significant degradation.
Versatility in Applications
Primary Use as Feed Additive: Menadione is widely recognized and extensively used as a feed additive in the animal industry (poultry, swine, ruminants, aquaculture). It plays a vital role in promoting blood coagulation, enhancing immune function, and improving growth performance in livestock. Its ease of mixing with different feed formulations makes it highly desirable.
Pharmaceutical and Nutritional Supplement: Beyond animal feed, menadione finds applications as a nutritional supplement and in the pharmaceutical industry. It's used as a chemical intermediate, stabilizing agent, and in research for various biological activities, including potential anticancer properties.
Precursor to Vitamin K2: While menadione itself doesn't have the full biological activity of K1 or K2, it can be converted into active Vitamin K2 (menaquinone-4, or MK-4) by intestinal microbiota in animals. This makes it an effective and readily available source of Vitamin K activity.
Proven Efficacy and Health Benefits
Blood Coagulation: Menadione is essential for the biosynthesis of prothrombin and other blood clotting factors. This is critical for preventing excessive bleeding and hemorrhagic conditions, particularly in animals and newborns.
Bone Metabolism: It plays a significant role in bone formation and mineralization, supporting overall bone health.
Immune System Support: In animals, Vitamin K3 has been shown to support the immune system, increasing resistance and reducing disease occurrence.
Broad Biological Activities: Research continues to explore a wide range of biological activities for menadione, including potential antioxidant, antibacterial, antifungal, and antimalarial properties, opening up new potential applications.
Established Market Presence and Regulatory Acceptance
GRAS Status (US FDA): Menadione is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the US FDA and is widely accepted as a safe food additive in many countries, facilitating its global trade and use.
Well-Established Supply Chain: As a widely used ingredient, there is an established supply chain for menadione powder, with numerous manufacturers and suppliers globally, ensuring availability and competitive pricing.
