What Is Vitamin K2?
Vitamin K2 (menaquinone) is a fat-soluble vitamin that plays a critical role in calcium metabolism. Unlike vitamin K1 (phylloquinone), which is primarily involved in blood clotting, vitamin K2 activates proteins that regulate where calcium goes in the body. It ensures calcium is deposited in bones and teeth where it's needed, while preventing calcium from accumulating in soft tissues like arteries and kidneys.
Understanding the Dosage
Each capsule provides optimal K2 MK-7:
Vitamin K2 (MK-7): 120mcg
Source: Natto (fermented soybeans)
Form: Menaquinone-7
Suggested Use: 1 capsule daily, or as directed by a healthcare practitioner
Total Capsules: 300
Consult your healthcare provider to determine the appropriate dosage for your individual needs.
Why MK-7 from Natto?
Vitamin K2 exists in several forms, with MK-7 being the most bioavailable:
What Is Natto: Natto is a traditional Japanese food made from fermented soybeans. The fermentation process produces menaquinone-7 (MK-7), the most bioavailable and longest-lasting form of vitamin K2.
MK-7 vs. MK-4: MK-7 has a significantly longer half-life in the body (72 hours) compared to MK-4 (1 hour), providing more sustained vitamin K2 activity throughout the day from a single daily dose.
Superior Bioavailability: MK-7 is better absorbed and remains active in the body longer than other forms of vitamin K2, making it more effective at lower doses.
Natural Source: Natto-derived K2 MK-7 is a natural, plant-based source suitable for vegans and vegetarians.
How Vitamin K2 Works
Vitamin K2 activates critical calcium-regulating proteins:
Activates Osteocalcin: Vitamin K2 activates osteocalcin, a protein produced by bone cells that binds calcium to the bone matrix. Without adequate K2, osteocalcin remains inactive and cannot effectively incorporate calcium into bones.
Activates Matrix Gla-Protein (MGP): K2 activates MGP, a protein that prevents calcium from depositing in soft tissues like arteries, kidneys, and other organs. Inactive MGP cannot prevent arterial calcification.
Calcium Distribution: By activating these proteins, K2 ensures calcium goes to bones and teeth (where it's beneficial) and stays out of arteries and soft tissues (where it's harmful).
Bone Health Support
Vitamin K2 is essential for bone health:
Bone Mineralization: K2 activates osteocalcin, which binds calcium to the bone matrix, supporting bone strength and mineralization.
Bone Density: By ensuring calcium is properly incorporated into bones, K2 supports healthy bone density, which is particularly important as we age.
Teeth Health: K2 also supports dental health by ensuring proper calcium utilization in teeth.
Works with Vitamin D: K2 works synergistically with vitamin D3. While D3 increases calcium absorption, K2 directs that calcium to bones rather than soft tissues.
Cardiovascular Wellness Support
Vitamin K2 plays a critical role in cardiovascular health:
Prevents Arterial Calcification: K2 activates matrix Gla-protein (MGP), which prevents calcium from depositing in arterial walls. Arterial calcification can lead to stiff, less flexible arteries.
Arterial Health: By keeping calcium out of arteries, K2 supports healthy, flexible blood vessels.
Cardiovascular Wellness: Proper calcium distribution supports overall cardiovascular wellness.
Vascular Flexibility: K2 helps maintain arterial elasticity by preventing calcium buildup in vessel walls.

About Vitamin K2 MK-7: Essential for Calcium Distribution
Vitamin K2 is often called the "calcium director" because it determines where calcium goes in the body. While calcium is essential for bone health, it can be harmful when it accumulates in soft tissues like arteries. Vitamin K2 solves this problem by activating proteins that bind calcium to bones (osteocalcin) and prevent calcium from depositing in arteries (matrix Gla-protein). The MK-7 form from natto is particularly effective due to its superior bioavailability and 72-hour half-life, providing sustained activity from a single daily dose. This makes it ideal for supporting both bone density and cardiovascular wellness through proper calcium metabolism. With 300 vegan capsules, this formula provides extended support for those committed to maintaining optimal bone and cardiovascular health.
