Vitamin K3

Vitamins are organic compounds taken in small quantities with food, necessary for normal metabolic functions and health.

Professor Henrik Dam from the University of Copenhagen, in 1929, observed a hemorrhagic disease in fowls, which especially affected the muscular and articular areas, when they received a diet deficient in fats. This condition reverted when they were fed with alfalfa. And then, Professor Henrik Dam isolated a liposoluble substance with anti-hemorrhagic properties since the alfalfa, which he named K Vitamin or Coagulation vitamin.

Professor Henrik Dam was awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1943 for joint work with Edward Doisy work in discovering vitamin K and its role in human physiology

Vitamin K derivatives are necessary for blood coagulation. Chemically speaking, these are 2-methyl-1,4-naphtokinon derivatives and are widely believed to be effective due to the naphtokinon ring in their chemical structure. All K vitamins therefore have similar action mechanisms. There may however be significant differences among them in terms of intestinal absorption, transfer and distribution in tissues.

Besides its importance in stopping bleeding, Vitamin K3 is one of the premix materials for animal feed and is widely used in veterinary medicine. Vitamin K3 is added to the feed of farm animals (chicken, fish, pig) that cannot synthesize this vitamin in their own metabolism.

OXYVIT MSB

​​​OXYVIT®MSB, is a water soluble product which favors the formation of prothrombine and speed blood-coagulation. Vitamin K3 has then an improved antihaemorrhagic activity in comparison to the natural Vitamin K.
