Vitamin K2

MK-7 - modern form

A key micronutrient for normal blood clotting and maintaining normal bone health. It'

s not just vitamin K. It is the form it is used in.

Modern form

- "Menaquinone-7 - a biologically stable form of vitamin K2"

- Long activity

- "Long biological half-life."

Bone care

"Vitamin K contributes to the maintenance of normal bone health."

Physiological balance

- "Vitamin K contributes to normal blood clotting."

Vitamin K2 in the form of menaquinone-7 (MK-7) is a highly bioavailable form of vitamin K with a long biological half-life. It contributes to normal blood clotting and the maintenance of normal bone health. Due to its stability and efficient distribution in the body, MK-7 is considered a modern form of vitamin K supplementation

How vitamin K2 works in the body

Vitamin K functions in the human body as a cofactor of the enzyme beta-glutamyl carboxylase, which activates so-called vitamin-K-dependent proteins. These proteins are involved in several important biological processes.

Among the best known are

• prothrombin, which is involved in the process of blood clotting
• osteocalcin, a protein produced by bone cells
• matrix Gla protein (MGP), which is found in various tissues of the body.

The activation of these proteins occurs through a process called beta-carboxylation, which is dependent on the presence of vitamin K.

Vitamin K has several health claims approved by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), which are supported by scientific studies

• Vitamin K contributes to normal blood clotting
• vitamin K contributes to the maintenance of normal bone health

These claims summarise the basic physiological roles of vitamin K in the human body.

The importance of the MK-7 form

The MK-7 form is often preferred in dietary supplements due to its physicochemical properties. Compared to some other forms of vitamin K, it has a longer isoprenoid side chain, which increases its lipophilicity and stability in the body.

Practically, this means that MK-7 can remain in the bloodstream longer than, for example, vitamin K1 or some shorter forms of menaquinones.

Why a 200 mcg dose of vitamin K2

The 200 mcg dose thus provides sufficient vitamin K2 for daily supplementation, while taking into account the fact that vitamin K intake from the normal diet may be low in many people.

Due to the good bioavailability of the MK-7 form, this dose may contribute to maintaining optimal levels of vitamin K in the body.

Vitamin K2 as part of a balanced diet

Vitamin K is a natural part of a varied diet and is found in a variety of foods, especially green leafy vegetables and fermented products. However, modern lifestyles and changes in dietary habits can lead to lower intakes of some micronutrients.

Dietary supplements with vitamin K2 MK-7 are a practical way to supplement this important vitamin and ensure a regular supply in the daily diet.
