Vitamin K1 (Phylloquinone) · Ingredient for Food Fortification & Dietary Supplements

Name: Vitamin K1 (Phylloquinone)
Brand: Atlas Global Trading Co.
SKU: VIT-VITAMIN-K1-PHYLLOQUINONE
Availability: InStock

Vitamin K1 (phylloquinone) is a fat-soluble vitamin commonly used in dietary supplements and in food fortification programs where permitted. Because vitamin K1 is sensitive to light and oxidation, it is typically supplied in protected formats such as oil-based solutions for softgels and liquid dosing, and stabilized beadlets/powders designed for dry premixes, tableting and capsules. Vitamin K1 is frequently used in multivitamin formulas and specialized nutrition products, often alongside vitamins D3 and A in comprehensive premix systems. Atlas Global Trading Co. supplies vitamin K1 from qualified producers with COA, technical documentation and reliable global logistics support.

Function: Vitamin K source for nutrition fortification and supplements (phylloquinone)

Typical formats: oil-based solutions for liquids/softgels; stabilized beadlets/powders for dry premixes (as specified)

Key feature: Light-sensitive, oxidation-prone vitamin—format selection and packaging help protect potency

Vitamin K1 is often included in comprehensive vitamin premixes with vitamins A and D3 and selected minerals. Explore the full Vitamins & Nutritional Enhancers portfolio or browse our Product Index (A–Z) for complementary vitamins and custom premix solutions.

Product overview

Vitamin K1 phylloquinone: formats, potency and stability considerations

Vitamin K1 is commonly supplied in protected forms to support stability and accurate dosing. Oil-based vitamin K1 solutions are widely used for softgels and liquid supplements, while beadlet/powder grades are preferred for premixes and solid dosage forms to improve distribution and processing robustness. Since vitamin K1 can degrade with exposure to light, oxygen and heat, careful packaging, storage and premix design are important to maintain activity through processing and shelf life.

Key characteristics

Ingredient type: fat-soluble vitamin supplied as vitamin K1 (phylloquinone).
Function: nutrition fortification—supports vitamin K delivery in foods and supplements (claims and permitted uses vary by market).
Stability: sensitive to light and oxidation; stabilized formats and light-protective packaging are recommended.
Commercial formats:
- Oil-based solutions: for softgels, drops and liquid dosing; vitamin K1 dissolved in suitable edible oils.
- Stabilized beadlets/powders: for dry premixes, tableting and capsules; designed for good flow and blend uniformity.
Potency: available in different strengths depending on grade and producer; typically used via premix for accurate dosing.
Compatibility: interactions with oxidizing environments, peroxides and certain minerals can reduce stability; premix design is important.
Labeling: typically “vitamin K” and/or “phylloquinone” depending on labeling conventions and regulatory requirements.

Atlas supports customers in selecting the appropriate vitamin K1 format and potency and in building premix strategies to protect activity through shelf life.

Indicative specification points

Specifications vary by producer and grade. Typical parameters include:

Assay/potency: declared activity/content with tolerance limits.
Appearance: clear oily solution or free-flowing beadlet/powder depending on grade.
Light protection: packaging designed to minimize photodegradation.
Moisture (powders): controlled for stability and flow.
Peroxide value (oil-based grades): controlled to reduce oxidative degradation.
Impurities/contaminants: controlled per applicable standards.
Microbiological criteria: applied for beadlet/powder grades as relevant for food/supplement use.
Stability/overage guidance: recommended overage is application-specific and validated through trials.

Each batch is delivered with a Certificate of Analysis (COA) and technical data sheet. Additional documents can include GMO status, allergen declarations, dietary suitability, Halal/Kosher where applicable, and compliance statements depending on grade and destination markets.

Dietary supplements

Softgels and drops: oil-based vitamin K1 solutions are commonly used for fat-soluble vitamin delivery.
Multivitamin tablets/capsules: stabilized beadlets/powders help ensure accurate dosing and uniformity.
Bone-health concepts: vitamin K1 is often combined with vitamin D3 and minerals in complex formulas (claims and positioning vary by market).

Fortified foods (where permitted)

Fortified dairy and plant-based products: use appropriate format for dispersion and stability (application-specific validation required).
Dry premixes and bakery mixes: beadlet/powder formats designed for dry blending and processing tolerance.

Specialized nutrition

Medical and sports nutrition: used in powdered and ready-to-drink systems; evaluate stability under heat and shelf-life conditions.
Infant/child nutrition: strict regulatory controls apply; use only approved grades and required documentation.

Formulation guidance

Light control: protect from light at every step—use opaque packaging and minimize exposure during production.
Oxidation control: reduce oxygen exposure; consider antioxidants and low-peroxide carriers for oil-based systems.
Dosing accuracy: vitamin K1 is potent; use premix strategies and validated mixing procedures to ensure uniformity.
Processing: evaluate pasteurization/UHT impacts where relevant; adjust overage based on stability testing.
Compliance: verify permitted forms, maximum levels, claims and labeling requirements in each destination market.
