Vitamin K1, also known as phytomenadione, phylloquinone, and phylloquinone, is chemically known as 2-methyl-3-phytol-1,4-naphthoquinone. It is a polycyclic aromatic ketone and a fat-soluble vitamin. It is stable to air and moisture but degrades in sunlight. It is widely found in natural green plants.
Vitamin K1 is a fat-soluble vitamin in the vitamin K family. Its core functions are closely related to blood coagulation and bone health. It is naturally present in foods such as green leafy vegetables and vegetable oils, and is primarily consumed through the human diet.
1.Coagulation
Vitamin K1 is an essential cofactor for the liver to synthesize coagulation factors (II, VII, IX, and X). A deficiency may lead to prolonged clotting time, manifesting as bleeding gums, nosebleeds, or slow wound healing.
2.Bone Health
It participates in the synthesis of osteocalcin (a bone matrix protein), helping calcium deposition in bones and reducing the risk of osteoporosis. Studies have shown that adequate vitamin K1 may reduce the incidence of fractures.

Our packing method is 1KG/Aluminium bags, 25kg/drum
For some products that require special packaging during transportation, we will carry out more delicate packaging. For example, retinal needs to be stored at -20 °C, so we choose cold chain transportation during transportation; deoxyarbutin will change color during transportation, so we will Vacuum packing of deoxyarbutin
