Looking to support your bone health as you age? Vitamin K2 MK-7 is a key nutrient that helps direct calcium to where it matters most – your bones and teeth, while keeping it away from soft tissues. Bronson’s Extra Strength 200mcg tablets provide a highly bio-available form of vitamin K2 for sustained benefits throughout the day.
Why Choose Vitamin K2 MK-7?
Vitamin K2 MK-7 contributes to normal bone maintenance and normal blood clotting. Unlike other forms, MK-7 remains active in the body for up to 24 hours, offering prolonged support. Bronson’s formula uses natural vitamin K2 derived from fermented chickpeas, ensuring potency and purity.*
-
Bone Support: Activates osteocalcin to bind calcium to the bone matrix, helping maintain strong bones as you age.*
-
Blood Clotting: Supports normal coagulation by activating clotting factors – a function shared with vitamin K1.*
-
Cardiovascular Health: By activating matrix Gla-protein (MGP), it helps prevent calcium build-up in arteries, supporting heart health – whilst this claim is not yet authorised by EFSA.*
What Is Vitamin K2 MK-7?
Vitamin K2 (menaquinone-7) is a fat-soluble vitamin that plays a crucial role in calcium metabolism. While vitamin K1 (phylloquinone) is quickly used by the liver for blood clotting, K2 MK-7 has a longer half-life and reaches tissues beyond the liver. This makes it especially valuable for bone and cardiovascular health. Bronson’s Vitamin K2 MK-7 200mcg provides a pure, stable form that your body can uses effectively.
Recommended Dosage and Usage
Each tablet provides 200µg of vitamin K2 (as MK-7). The UK reference nutrient intake (RNI) for vitamin K is approximately 1µg per kg of body weight per day, but higher intakes up to 200µg are considered safe and are often used to support bone health. Take one tablet daily with a meal containing fat for optimal absorption. Do not exceed the recommended dose unless advised by your GP.
Vitamin K2 vs Vitamin K1
Both forms are important, but they differ in function and duration. K1 from leafy greens is mainly used by the liver for clotting. K2, especially MK-7, is more bio-available and stays in the bloodstream longer, making it more effective for bone and cardiovascular support. Bronson’s Vitamin K2 MK-7 delivers this superior form in a convenient once-daily tablet.

Potential Side Effects and Interactions
Vitamin K2 is generally well tolerated. Mild digestive upset may occur in sensitive individuals. Because vitamin K promotes blood clotting, anyone taking anticoagulants like warfarin should consult their doctor before uses. High doses may interfere with these medications.
