Description

Menaquinone 6 is a food supplement that is a source of vitamin K. It is a crystalline cellulose and has been used in analytical chemistry to measure the concentration of fatty acids in nutrient solutions. Menaquinone 6 may be effective for the treatment of infectious diseases and cancer, as it has been shown to inhibit tumor growth and induce apoptosis in vitro. This compound is also capable of reducing redox potentials by scavenging reactive oxygen species (ROS) or hydrogen peroxide, which can lead to oxidative stress.
