Vitamin K2 MK-7 120 mcg | Natto Derived

Vitamin K2 MK-7 120 mcg brings the ingredient form and source into focus. Each vegetable capsule provides 120 mcg of vitamin K2 as menaquinone-7, identified in the formulation as natto derived. This standalone vitamin K2 supplement contains one medicinal ingredient, making it a straightforward option for shoppers looking specifically for K2 in the MK-7 form.

What Is MK-7 Vitamin K2?

Menaquinone-7, Clearly Identified

MK-7 is the abbreviated name for menaquinone-7, the form of vitamin K2 used in this formula. The ingredient listing specifies MK-7 rather than using the general term “vitamin K” alone, helping you identify the form before purchasing.

Each capsule supplies 120 mcg of vitamin K2. That amount describes the vitamin content, while MK-7 identifies its form and natto derived identifies its source.

Natto Derived K2

A Specified Ingredient Source

The vitamin K2 ingredient is listed as natto derived. Source, form and quantity are presented together so the formulation is easy to understand: natto derived menaquinone-7, providing 120 mcg of vitamin K2 per capsule.

Vitamin K2 Without a D3 Combination

This is a standalone K2 formula, not a combined vitamin D3 and K2 supplement. Vitamin K2 is the sole listed medicinal ingredient. This distinction helps shoppers seeking a separate MK-7 product identify the formulation accurately.

Clinical Research

Vitamin K2 supplementation improves hip bone geometry and bone strength indices in postmenopausal women

Osteoporosis International, 2013

This randomized controlled trial administered vitamin K2 as MK-7 (180mcg daily) to postmenopausal women over 3 years and measured bone mineral density and bone strength indices. The study found that MK-7 supplementation significantly improved bone mineral density at the lumbar spine and femoral neck, and improved bone strength indices compared to placebo. The authors concluded that MK-7 supplementation supports bone health in postmenopausal women through activation of osteocalcin and enhanced bone mineralization.

Menaquinone-7 supplementation to reduce vascular calcification in patients with coronary artery disease

Netherlands Heart Journal, 2015

This randomized controlled trial examined the effects of MK-7 supplementation on vascular calcification and Matrix Gla Protein (MGP) activation in patients with coronary artery disease. The study found that MK-7 supplementation significantly increased carboxylated MGP levels (the active form) and reduced uncarboxylated MGP (the inactive form), indicating improved MGP activation and reduced arterial calcification risk. The authors concluded that MK-7 effectively activates MGP to support arterial health and cardiovascular wellness.

Vitamin K status and vascular calcification: evidence from observational and clinical studies

Advances in Nutrition, 2012

This comprehensive review examined the clinical and epidemiological evidence linking vitamin K2 status, Matrix Gla Protein activation, and vascular calcification. The review found consistent evidence that low vitamin K2 status is associated with higher levels of uncarboxylated (inactive) MGP and greater arterial calcification, while adequate K2 intake particularly as MK-7 supports MGP activation and arterial flexibility. The authors confirmed MK-7's superior half life and peripheral tissue activity compared to MK-4 and K1.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is vitamin K2 MK-7 and what is it used for?

Vitamin K2 as menaquinone-7 (MK-7) is a fat soluble vitamin that activates two key vitamin K-dependent proteins: osteocalcin, which directs calcium into bone matrix, and Matrix Gla Protein (MGP), which inhibits calcium deposition in soft tissues including arterial walls. Vitamin K2 MK-7 supports bone and teeth health and cardiovascular wellness. Consult a healthcare practitioner before use if you are taking blood thinners.

What is the difference between vitamin K1 and vitamin K2

Vitamin K1 (phylloquinone) is found in leafy green vegetables and is primarily used by the liver for blood clotting factor synthesis. Vitamin K2 (menaquinone) is found in fermented foods and animal products and is preferentially used by peripheral tissues particularly bone and blood vessel walls to activate osteocalcin and Matrix Gla Protein. K2 is the form relevant to bone mineralization and arterial calcium regulation; K1 does not effectively activate these extrahepatic proteins.

What is natto and why is it the best source of MK-7?

Natto is a traditional Japanese fermented food made from soybeans and is the richest known dietary source of menaquinone-7 (MK-7). Natto has been consumed in Japan for over a thousand years and is the food source from which MK-7 was first identified and characterized. MK-7 derived from natto is 100% plant based, making it suitable for vegans and vegetarians. Soy protein is removed during extraction consult a healthcare practitioner if you have a severe soy allergy.

How does vitamin K2 support cardiovascular health?

Matrix Gla Protein (MGP) is the most potent known inhibitor of arterial calcification. Without adequate vitamin K2, MGP remains in its inactive (uncarboxylated) form and cannot prevent calcium from depositing in arterial walls and soft tissues. Vitamin K2 MK-7 activates MGP through carboxylation, supporting arterial flexibility and vascular health. Consult a healthcare practitioner for advice specific to your cardiovascular health needs.

How does vitamin K2 support bone health?

Osteocalcin is a protein produced by bone forming cells (osteoblasts) that binds calcium into the bone matrix. Without adequate vitamin K2, osteocalcin remains in its inactive (uncarboxylated) form and cannot effectively incorporate calcium into bone. Vitamin K2 MK-7 activates osteocalcin through carboxylation, enabling it to bind calcium and support bone mineralization and density. Consult a healthcare practitioner for advice specific to your bone health needs.

Should vitamin K2 be taken with vitamin D3?

Vitamin D3 increases calcium absorption from the intestine. Vitamin K2 MK-7 directs that absorbed calcium toward bone (via osteocalcin) and away from soft tissues (via MGP). The two vitamins work together in calcium metabolism D3 increases the supply of calcium available to the body, while K2 ensures it is deposited in the right places. Many adults take D3 and K2 together for comprehensive bone and cardiovascular calcium support.
