Vitamin K2

MK-7 – a modern form

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

It’s not just about vitamin K—it’s about the form in which it’s used.

- Modern form

- “Menaquinone-7 – a biologically stable form of vitamin K2.”

- Long-lasting activity

- “Long biological half-life.”

- Bone health

“Vitamin K contributes to the maintenance of normal bones.”

- 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 to the maintenance of normal bones. Thanks to its stability and efficient distribution throughout 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 for 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 plays a role in blood clotting
• osteocalcin, a protein produced by bone cells
• matrix Gla protein (MGP), which is found in various tissues of the body.

These proteins are activated through a process called beta-carboxylation, which depends on the presence of vitamin K.

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

• Vitamin K contributes to normal blood clotting
• Vitamin K contributes to the maintenance of normal bones

These claims summarize the fundamental 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.

In practical terms, 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

A 200 mcg dose thus provides a sufficient amount of vitamin K2 for daily supplementation while also taking into account the fact that vitamin K intake from the regular diet may be low for many people.

Thanks to the good bioavailability of the MK-7 form, this dose can help maintain optimal vitamin K levels in the body.

Vitamin K2 as Part of a Balanced Diet

Vitamin K is a natural component of a varied diet and is found in various foods, particularly in green leafy vegetables and fermented foods. However, modern lifestyles and changes in eating habits can lead to lower intake of certain micronutrients.

Dietary supplements containing vitamin K2 MK-7 offer a practical way to supplement this important vitamin and ensure a regular supply in your daily diet.
