Microbial Derived Vitamins

Meaning

Microbial Derived Vitamins refers to essential micronutrients, such as certain B vitamins and Vitamin K, that are synthesized endogenously by the commensal bacteria residing within the human gastrointestinal tract rather than being solely obtained from exogenous dietary sources. These contributions are vital for host physiology, supporting coagulation cascades and methylation reactions necessary for optimal endocrine function. We acknowledge the metabolic partnership with the gut microbiome.
