Contribute to CRN's Vitamin and Mineral Safety book updates
CRN released another newly revised Vitamin and Mineral Safety book chapter in November, this time for vitamin K2 (menaquinone-7, MK-7). For the first time, CRN’s rigorous safety evaluation established a supplemental Highest Observed Intake (HOI) level of 375 µg/day for adults, offering essential new guidance for manufacturers, regulators, and health practitioners seeking evidence-based recommendations for this increasingly used nutrient. This adds to the previously announced updates to the renowned handbook.
- ICYMI: CRN’s Supplement Source podcast discussed how the handbook became a scientific cornerstone in the fight against overly conservative regulations, and why updating it is more crucial than ever.
Members are invited to contribute to updates of additional chapters through a tax-deductible donation to the CRN Foundation.
