Description

Vitamin K3 β-Cyclodextrin Complex

Vitamin K3 β-Cyclodextrin Complex is a high-purity, inclusion complex of Menadione (Vitamin K3) with β-Cyclodextrin, designed to enhance the stability, solubility, and bioavailability of Vitamin K3 in pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and food applications. This complex form offers improved handling and formulation performance compared to free menadione, while maintaining its biological activity as a pro-vitamin K compound. Vitamin K3 β-Cyclodextrin Complex
• Is stabilized inclusion complex of Vitamin K3 and β-cyclodextrin
• Provides enhanced solubility, dispersibility, and shelf-life stability
• Is suitable for oral, parenteral, and nutritional formulations
• Is used in fortified foods, supplements, and pharmaceutical dosage forms
• Is manufactured under Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) certified conditions
• Is supplied with complete regulatory documentation including Certificate of Analysis (CoA) and technical data
Vitamin K3 β-Cyclodextrin Complex consists of Menadione (2-Methyl-1,4-naphthoquinone) encapsulated within the β-Cyclodextrin cavity through non-covalent interactions. It appears as a light yellow to off-white powder that is freely dispersible in water, providing consistent performance in both aqueous and semi-solid systems.
In pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and food applications, Vitamin K3 β-Cyclodextrin Complex is used in:
• Oral tablets, capsules, and powders for Vitamin K supplementation
• Fortified nutritional beverages and food products
• Parenteral nutrition and veterinary formulations requiring water-dispersible Vitamin K3
• Combination formulations with fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K complexes)
• Research and product development focused on enhanced nutrient delivery systems
Vitamin K3 β-Cyclodextrin Complex provides oxidative protection for menadione, reducing degradation and improving stability under exposure to light and heat. The β-Cyclodextrin carrier also enhances absorption and bioavailability by increasing solubility in aqueous environments.
CarboMer supplies Vitamin K3 β-Cyclodextrin Complex with control over assay, inclusion ratio, moisture content, and microbial purity. The material meets applicable food-grade and pharmaceutical quality standards and is suitable for regulated applications.
The material is packaged in sealed, moisture-resistant, tamper-evident containers. Available in laboratory, pilot, and commercial-scale volumes. Minimum order quantities (MOQ), lead times, and documentation, including CoA and SDS are provided upon request.
Each batch is tested for identity (UV, IR), assay (menadione content), moisture content, β-cyclodextrin purity, and microbial limits. Certificates of Analysis (CoA), Safety Data Sheets (SDS), and full traceability documentation accompany every shipment.
As with all CarboMer Vitamin-Cyclodextrin complexes, Vitamin K3 β-Cyclodextrin Complex is supported by formulation expertise, regulatory compliance assistance, and a dependable global supply chain to ensure safe, effective, and high-performance product development.
