Description
Vitamin K2 Menaquinone-7 (MK7) 0.2% is a fat-soluble vitamin that is essential for the carboxylation of glutamate residues in certain proteins. This allows the protein to bind calcium, which is crucial in the blood clotting process. The carboxylation activates osteocalcin, which promotes the deposition of calcium ions in the blood into the bone that increase bone density and prevent fractures.
Vitamin K2 may also reduce the risk liver disease from progressing into more serious conditions. The vitamin is typically found in fermented foods, such as natto kinase.
Function
People use vitamin K2 Menaquinone-7 (MK7) for a wide variety of reasons.

a) Calcium Regulation. Vitamin K2 helps in the regulation of calcium in the body. It activates proteins that help deposit calcium in the bones and teeth, contributing to bone mineralization.
b) Osteoporosis Prevention. Adequate vitamin K2 levels may help prevent osteoporosis by ensuring proper calcium utilization in bone tissue. - Cardiovascular Health.
a) Arterial Health. Vitamin K2 is thought to help prevent calcium deposits in the arteries, which can contribute to atherosclerosis. By regulating calcium, K2 may contribute to maintaining healthy blood vessels.
b) Heart Health. Some studies suggest that sufficient vitamin K2 intake may be associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular diseases. - Calcification Prevention. Soft Tissue Calcification: Vitamin K2 may help prevent abnormal calcification in soft tissues, such as arteries and joints, by directing calcium to the bones and teeth.
- Cognitive Health and Brain Function. While research is still in the early stages, there is some evidence suggesting that vitamin K2 may play a role in supporting cognitive function.
- Anti-Inflammatory Properties. Vitamin K2 has been associated with anti-inflammatory effects, which can be beneficial for overall health.
- Cancer Prevention. Some studies suggest a potential role of vitamin K2 in reducing the risk of certain cancers, although more research is needed to establish a definitive link.
- Improved Dental Health. Vitamin K2 is believed to contribute to dental health by aiding in the proper mineralization of teeth.
Suggested use
The suggested daily amount of 100% vitamin K2 MK7 is 100 – 500 mcg.
