Compare verified 1,500 and 4,500 ppm grades first; treat 1% and 5% oils as project options requiring an applicable current specification.
Key takeaways
- Start with a mass-balance calculation and minimum reliable weighing quantity.
- Higher potency reduces carrier load but magnifies weighing and dispersion risk.
- Ureda’s supplied TDS documents verify 1,500 and 4,500 ppm MCT-oil grades; request the current applicable TDS for other concentrations.

A transparent calculation method
If a batch requires 1,000 mg of MK-7, the theoretical preparation requirement is about 666.7 g at 1,500 ppm or 222.2 g at 4,500 ppm. Manufacturing overage must be justified by process and stability data rather than assumed.
| Label | Equivalent | MK-7 per gram | Document status |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1,500 ppm | 0.15% | 1.5 mg | Verified supplied TDS |
| 4,500 ppm | 0.45% | 4.5 mg | Verified supplied TDS |
| 10,000 ppm | 1% | 10 mg | Project option; document required |
| 50,000 ppm | 5% | 50 mg | Project option; document required |
Why higher is not automatically better
- Smaller ingredient mass magnifies weighing-error risk.
- Distribution through the oil fill becomes more critical.
- Higher-potency handling may need tighter operating controls.
- Lower carrier load can benefit space-constrained formulas.
Carrier and market considerations
For MCT projects, coconut-derived and palm-derived sources may be discussed. Confirm carrier origin, allergen positioning and destination-market documentation before order confirmation. Commercial preference varies by customer and should not be confused with a regulatory requirement.
What to include in your supplier brief
Provide the dose per serving, batch size, fill weight, smallest reliable weighing mass, preferred MCT source and destination market.
