According to our new research study on "Brazil Vitamin K2 Market Forecast to 2028 – COVID-19 Impact and Country Analysis – by Product, Dosage Forms, Source and Application," the market is expected to grow from US$ 1.59 million in 2022 to US$ 9.81 million by 2028; it is estimated to register a CAGR of 35.6% from 2023 to 2028. Key factors driving the Brazil Vitamin K2 market growth are increasing prevalence of CVD and growing cases of osteoporosis bone deformation in adults and newborns. However, lack of awareness might hamper the growth.

MK-7 is the leading segment by product of the Brazil vitamin K2 market. And the same segment is estimated to hold the maximum Brazil vitamin K2 market share during the forecast period. The segment is also anticipated to grow at the fastest CAGR during the forecast period. Menaquinone-7 (MK-7) is an advanced, fat-soluble form of vitamin K2 that serves multiple bodily functions. Only vitamin K2 in the form of MK-7 has been proven to provide 24-hour protection to bones and teeth from a single daily dose. MK-7 has a much longer half-life in the body and stays in the blood the longest than other forms of vitamin K2 owing to its presence not only in liver tissues but also in bones, arteries, and soft tissues. Therefore, MK-7 supplementation must only be taken once daily. According to MenaQ7, 45 mcg of MK-7 per day can increase carboxylation and activate vitamin K-dependent proteins, such as osteocalcin for bone health and Matrix GLA Protein (MGP) for heart health.

Various companies in the market offer MK-7 in different forms, such as soft gel capsules, gummies, and oil. MK-7 is used for broader applications, including human health, skincare, and many more.

The other segment by product is MK-4. It, also known as menatetrenone (INN), is one of the nine forms of vitamin K2 with low bioactivity and bioavailability. In most cases, synthetic MK-4 is used for pharmacological purposes. Studies show that vitamin K2 supplements can heal fractures and improve bone quality in osteoporosis patients. The commercially available MK-4 stays only for 4–6 hours in the body and is effective at significantly higher dosages. MK-4 stops and reverses bone loss, thereby strengthening bones and reducing the chances of fractures by over 80%.
