7Nutrition K2 MK7 100mcg 120 caps
- Highly stable and highly bioavailable vitamin K2 from natto 7Nutrition K2 MK-7. 100 µg of vitamin K2 and 240 mg of inulin support healthy bones. Helps maintain normal blood clotting. Supports calcium metabolism and the cardiovascular system.
7Nutrition K2 MK7 is a dietary supplement containing vitamin K2 in the form of menaquinone-7 (MK-7), which is the most stable and most bioavailable form of K2 available in supplements. This vitamin is obtained through a biofermentation process from natto (fermented soybeans). MK-7 is well absorbed in the intestines and has a longer half-life in the blood than other forms of vitamin K, which may translate into more effective activation of vitamin K–dependent proteins.
Who is 7Nutrition K2 MK7 intended for?
The 7Nutrition K2 MK7 supplement is designed for individuals who want to support bone health and the cardiovascular system, as well as those who care about proper calcium metabolism in the body. It may be particularly useful for older adults, postmenopausal women, or people whose diets are low in natural sources of vitamin K2 (e.g. fermented foods). K2 MK7 supplementation is also considered for individuals taking vitamin D, as vitamin K2 may help direct calcium into the bones rather than into blood vessels.
Vitamin K2 (MK-7)
Vitamin K2 in the MK-7 form in 7Nutrition’s supplement provides 100 µg of active ingredient per capsule. It acts as a cofactor for the enzyme γ-glutamyl carboxylase, which activates vitamin K–dependent proteins (VKDPs). Activation of these proteins facilitates calcium binding in bones and helps prevent its deposition in veins and arteries, which is important for bone and cardiovascular health. Studies show that MK-7 has higher bioavailability and a longer half-life in serum than other forms of vitamin K, enabling more efficient carboxylation of these proteins at standard supplementation doses.
Inulin
Inulin is a prebiotic that supports beneficial gut microbiota, which may indirectly improve nutrient absorption and metabolism as well as overall digestive system function.
Why choose 7Nutrition K2 MK7?
- Natural and bioavailable form of vitamin K2: vitamin K2 in MK-7 form derived from fermented soybeans (natto) has better absorption and longer activity in the bloodstream than traditional K2 or K1 forms. It may contribute to more effective activation of vitamin K–dependent proteins.
- Support for bone and cardiovascular health: scientific studies indicate that vitamin K2 (MK-7) may support healthy bone structure by promoting gamma-carboxylation of osteocalcin, which facilitates calcium incorporation into bones, and may also support vascular health through activation of MGP proteins.
- Convenient form and ease of use: one capsule per day provides 100 µg of vitamin K2 MK-7, covering a significant portion of daily requirements and making it easy to include in a daily routine.
