Carlson Vitamin K2 MK-7, 90 mcg, 120 Softgels – Bone Health & Calcium Utilisation

What Is Vitamin K2 MK-7?

Vitamin K2 refers to a group of compounds called menaquinones, the most common being MK-4 and MK-7. MK-7, derived from natural fermentation of soybeans, has a longer half-life in the body than MK-4, providing sustained activity throughout the day. Carlson uses MenaQ7, a clinically studied MK-7 ingredient sourced from natto (fermented soya). Each soft gel capsule delivers 90 mcg of this highly bio-available form of vitamin K2 to help activate proteins that bind calcium to the bone matrix.

Why Vitamin K2 Matters for Your Bones

Calcium often receives all the attention when it comes to bone health, but alone it is not enough – your body needs vitamin K2 to direct calcium to the right places. Without sufficient K2, calcium may be deposited in soft tissues rather than strengthening your bones. Carlson Vitamin K2 MK-7 provides 90 mcg of menaquinone-7 in a single soft gel capsule to support your body’s natural calcium utilisation and contribute to normal bone maintenance.

Key Benefits of Vitamin K2 Supplementation

Vitamin K2 plays several important roles in the body. The following benefits are supported by scientific research:

• Bone health support: K2 activates osteocalcin, a protein that anchors calcium into bone tissue, helping maintain normal bone density.
• Calcium utilisation: By directing calcium to bones and teeth, K2 helps prevent calcium from accumulating in arteries and soft tissues.
• Blood clotting: K2 contributes to normal blood clotting by activating clotting factors.
• Easy absorption: The soft gel capsule form is easy to swallow; as a fat-soluble vitamin, it is best taken with a meal containing fat for optimal absorption.

These benefits explain why vitamin K2 is often recommended alongside vitamin D and calcium as part of a comprehensive bone health regimen.

Who Should Consider Taking Vitamin K2?

Many people may not get enough vitamin K2 from diet alone, as it is primarily found in fermented foods like natto and certain cheeses. Individuals who may benefit from supplementation include:

• Adults concerned about bone density, especially postmenopausal women.
• Those taking medications that interfere with vitamin K metabolism (e.g., certain antibiotics or cholesterol-lowering drugs).
• People with limited dietary intake of fermented foods.
• Anyone looking to support cardiovascular health alongside bone health.

Carlson Vitamin K2 MK-7 offers a convenient daily dose of 90 mcg – a level shown in studies to effectively support osteocalcin activation.

What Makes Carlson Vitamin K2 Stand Out?

Carlson Laboratories has been a trusted name in supplements for over 50 years. This product features MenaQ7, a branded MK-7 backed by clinical research. Each batch is tested by an independent laboratory for potency and quality. The softgels are easy to swallow and free from common allergens. With 120 softgels per bottle, a single serving per day provides a two-month supply.

How to Uses and Store

Take one soft gel capsule daily with a meal that contains fat for best absorption. Store in a cool, dry place. Carlson Vitamin K2 MK-7 has been manufactured to strict quality standards, ensuring you receive a pure and potent supplement every time.

Safety and Side Effects

Vitamin K2 is generally well tolerated. However, individuals taking blood-thinning medications (e.g., warfarin) should consult a health care professional before supplementing, as vitamin K can interact with these drugs. As with any supplement, discontinue uses if any adverse reaction occurs and seek medical advice.
