Opportunity
As data indicate, gummies have seen the largest increase in NPL (New Product Launch) penetration, by the gain of seven percentage-points over past four years.
Our customer chose the form of gummy as the carrier for Vitamin K2, which is proved for improving bone health.
They sought help from Richen since the assay of vitamin K2 in gummies is quite difficult to test.
Approach
Our technology experts are specialized in developing methods for testing the assay of vitamin K2 in gummies from CNAS laboratory.
Due to the fact that vitamin K2 and vitamin K1 belong to the same family of vitamin K homologues and have similar structures, most literature methods refer to the detection method for vitamin K1 in food. Our testing method of vitamin K2 in food is optimized according to GB 5009.158-2016 “National Food Safety Standard – Determination of Vitamin K1 in Food”, so that the system adaptability meets the separation requirements.
After the testing of vitamin K2 assay in gummies, the testing results are consistent with those sent by the customer for third-party testing.
Impact
The customer’s project has been approved and the approval documents for the registration of dietary supplements have been confirmed.
We have successfully obtained the cooperation opportunity through professional testing services.
Richen will continue to create and optimize scientific solutions for bone health. We strive to develop the R&D technologies and innovative products.
