BIOVIT Vitamin K
Natural source: Parsley Leaf
Plant-derived Vitamin K2 from organic parsley leaves
A clean-label, vegan Vitamin K2 from organically grown parsley (BI098). At 100 mg/100g, just 0.0113 g per portion delivers a "Source of" claim. K2 (menaquinone) is the form increasingly specified in bone health and cardiovascular formulations, where it works synergistically with Vitamin D3 and Calcium.
Organic certified, GB and EU compliant, and a direct one-to-one replacement for synthetic menaquinone and natto-derived K2 across supplements, gummies, plant-based dairy, and bone-health ranges.
Specified by leading UK manufacturers, with samples dispatched within a week and reformulation support included.

From bone-health supplements to plant-based dairy
Vitamin K2 is the third nutrient in the bone-health stack alongside Vitamin D3 and Calcium, and the form increasingly specified in cardiovascular formulations too. Three categories where parsley-derived K2 earns its place fastest.
Supplements
Capsules, tablets, and powders where K2 pairs naturally with D3 and Calcium in bone health, women's health, and cardiovascular formats. A parsley declaration reads as food, not fortification, on a supplement back-of-pack.
Gummies
At 0.0113 g per portion, K2 sits comfortably in the gummy matrix without affecting set, texture, or finish. Pairs cleanly with D3 and Calcium in multi-nutrient bone-health and women's health gummies.
Plant-Based Dairy
K2 completes the bone-health story alongside D3 and Calcium in oat, soy, and almond milks where cow's milk parity is the unspoken benchmark. A parsley source keeps the back-of-pack story consistent with the clean-label positioning.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions from formulators specifying parsley-derived Vitamin K2, covering the K1 vs K2 distinction, vegan suitability, declarations, and EFSA claim coverage.
Vitamin K2 sits within BIOVIT's broader bioavailability research programme at Swansea University, in collaboration with Prof Richard Bracken. The published 30-day human intervention trial established equivalent bioavailability between natural and synthetic micronutrient sources across the nutrients measured, supporting the position that parsley-derived K2 performs in line with synthetic and fermentation-derived alternatives.
K1 (phylloquinone) is the form most abundant in leafy greens, primarily used by the liver for blood clotting. K2 (menaquinone) is the form more readily used by extra-hepatic tissues, particularly bone and cardiovascular systems. K2 is the form specified in most modern bone-health and cardiovascular formulations.
Yes. Plant-derived from organic parsley leaf, with no fermentation or animal-derivation step. Suitable for vegan, vegetarian, and plant-based products, including ranges where natto-derived K2 is excluded for cultural or allergen reasons.
"Organic parsley extract." A familiar, recognisable kitchen herb declaration that reads far cleaner than "menaquinone-7" or "Vitamin K2 (from natto)" on a label.
0.0113 g per portion for a "Source of" claim, 0.0225 g for "High in". For a precise cost figure in your formulation, get in touch with the team.

Reformulation support is included
Every BIOVIT wholesale order comes with full technical reformulation support at no extra cost, giving your NPD and technical teams direct access to a qualified nutritionist from brief to production.
Eiméar Sutton (RNutr MSc), our Head of Nutrition, leads the technical work on every account: equivalence mapping against your incumbent synthetic, inclusion-rate modelling, on-pack claim wording aligned to GB and EU regulation, and the small details that decide whether a synthetic-to-natural switch lands cleanly on the production line.
The result: shorter development cycles, fewer reformulation rounds, and a finished product your commercial team can stand behind.
