Funded Activity Summary
New fermentation and purification production technologies for menaquinone-7 for promoting bone and cardiovascular health. We will develop a significantly more cost-efficient and environmentally friendly process for the production of vitamin K (menaquinone-7, or MK7) to manufacture food supplements for humans and animals. MK7 will increase bone regeneration and minimise the risk of cardiovascular disease. It has the potential to reduce the costs of these conditions for the community, and to increase the quality of life for Australia's ageing population. Orthopaedic diseases are also a major veterinary issue, and our advance should make MK7 a more widely used available supplementary food for animals such as horses and dogs.Funded Activity Details
