Consumers are more aware of the food ingredients and pay attention to nutrition labels, ingredients of the food products, adequate intake (AI), and recommended dietary allowance (RDA). This change in buying habits has resulted in a higher demand for healthy foods and supplements and has attracted several manufacturers to offer new food products that are functional, not genetically modified, and sourced naturally.

With the increasing consciousness and concern about health and wellness, demand for multifunctional menaquinones or vitamin K2 is expected to increase in the coming years. Governments around the world have also recognized the potential health benefits of vitamin K2 and are taking steps to promote its consumption. Recent research has strengthened the link between vitamin K2 and cardiovascular health. Governments around the world have also recognized these benefits and are taking steps to promote its consumption.
