Your bones are the scaffolding of your body, and they rely on a steady supply of nutrients to remain robust. Amongst these, vitamin K2 in its MK-7 form is gaining recognition for its role in directing calcium to where it’s needed most—your bones—rather than soft tissues like arteries. Bronson Vitamin K2 MK-7 100 mcg provides this essential nutrient in a highly bio-available, non-GMO formula, backed by decades of trusted manufacturing.
Why Trust Bronson Vitamins?
Bronson Vitamins began in 1960 when a group of pharmacists recognized the benefits of supplementation. Their commitment to quality continues today: every product is manufactured in their own state-of-the-art facility in New York, following strict cGMP guidelines. Ingredients are lab-tested for purity and potency, and the final product is free from GMOs, gluten and soya. This dedication has earned Bronson a reputation amongst medical professionals for decades.
Understanding Vitamin K2 MK-7 and Its Role
Vitamin K is a fat-soluble vitamin with two main forms: K1 (phylloquinone) from leafy greens, and K2 (menaquinone) from fermented foods and animal products. K2 is further divided into subtypes, with MK-7 being the most studied for bone and cardiovascular health. Unlike K1, which is rapidly cleared by the liver, MK-7 circulates longer, making it more effective at activating calcium-binding proteins. These proteins, such as osteocalcin and matrix Gla protein, help ensure calcium ends up in your bones rather than your arteries.
Key Benefits of Vitamin K2 Supplementation
-
Bone health support: Vitamin K contributes to the maintenance of normal bones. By activating osteocalcin, it helps bind calcium to the bone matrix, supporting bone density as you age.*
-
Calcium regulation: Vitamin K activates matrix Gla protein, which plays a role in normal calcium metabolism, helping to keep calcium in bones and out of soft tissues.*
-
Synergy with vitamin D: Vitamin D aids calcium absorption, whilst vitamin K2 directs it to the right places. Together they support normal bone health.*
Who May Benefit from Vitamin K2?
Whilst everyone can benefit from adequate vitamin K intake, certain groups may particularly need supplementation. Adults over 50 often have reduced bone density and may benefit from K2’s role in calcium management. Individuals on long-term antibiotics or with digestive conditions that impair fat absorption may also have lower K2 levels. Additionally, people who don't regularly eat fermented foods like natto (the richest dietary source of MK-7) can consider a supplement to fill the gap.
How to Choose a Quality Vitamin K2 Supplement
Not all vitamin K2 supplements are created equal. Look for the MK-7 form—it is more bio-available and longer-lasting than MK-4 forms. The dosage should provide at least 100 mcg to match the amounts used in clinical studies. Third-party testing for purity and potency adds confidence. Bronson's formula is non-GMO, gluten-free, soya-free, and produced in a cGMP-certified facility with rigorous in-house testing. Since 1960, Bronson has been a trusted name amongst health care professionals, ensuring you receive a high-quality supplement you can rely on.
What Makes Bronson Vitamin K2 MK-7 Unique?
Bronson Vitamin K2 uses menaquinone-7 (MK-7), the form of vitamin K that remains active in the body longer than the more common K1. This means you get sustained support for calcium metabolism. Each capsule provides 100 mcg of MK-7 from a non-GMO, gluten-free, and soya-free source. The product is manufactured in Bronson's own cGMP-certified facility in Hauppauge, New York, ensuring purity, potency, and consistency with every batch.
