Carlson Vitamin K2 MK-7 (Menaquinone), 90 µg, Bone Support, 60 Softgels

Key Benefits of Vitamin K2 Supplementation

• Bone Support: Vitamin K2 activates osteocalcin, which helps bind calcium to the bone matrix, supporting bone density and strength.*
• Calcium Bioavailability: By aiding proper calcium utilisation, K2 ensures calcium is deposited in bones rather than soft tissues.*
• Cardiovascular Health: Vitamin K2 may help maintain arterial flexibility and normal blood pressure through its role in vascular health.*
• Dental Health: Supports remineralisation of tooth enamel and overall oral health.*

Why Vitamin K2 Matters for Bone Health

Vitamin K2, or menaquinone, plays a vital role in directing calcium to where it is needed most—your bones and teeth—whilst helping to prevent calcium build-up in soft tissues. Carlson Vitamin K2 MK-7 provides 90 µg of this essential nutrient in a single, easy-to-swallow soft gel capsule, made with clinically studied MenaQ7 to promote strong, healthy bones.

Understanding Vitamin K2: MK-7 vs. MK-4

Vitamin K2 exists in several forms, with MK-7 (menaquinone-7) being one of the most researched. Unlike MK-4, which has a short half-life, MK-7 remains active in the body longer, offering sustained support for calcium metabolism. This form is derived from natural fermentation (natto) and is widely recognized for its bioavailability. Carlson uses MenaQ7, a premium MK-7 ingredient backed by clinical research, ensuring a consistent, high-quality dose.

Who May Benefit from Vitamin K2?

Adults looking to support long-term bone health, especially those with limited dietary intake of vitamin K2 (found in natto, cheese, and certain fermented foods), may consider supplementation. Those concerned about age-related bone changes, postmenopausal women, and individuals on a low-fat diet (which reduces K2 absorption) may also find this supplement helpful. Always consult your health care provider before starting any new regimen.

How to Uses Carlson Vitamin K2 MK-7

Take one soft gel capsule daily, preferably with a meal containing fat for optimal absorption. Each soft gel capsule provides 90 µg of MK-7, a dose consistent with clinical studies supporting bone and cardiovascular health. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

Quality and Testing You Can Trust

Carlson tests every batch of Vitamin K2 MK-7 in an independent, UKAS-accredited laboratory for potency, purity, and quality. The softgels are easy to swallow and free from common allergens like gluten, milk, and soya (check label for details). This commitment to third-party testing gives you confidence in what you are putting into your body.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between vitamin K1 and K2?

Vitamin K1 (phylloquinone) is mainly involved in blood clotting and is found in leafy greens. Vitamin K2 (menaquinone) focuses on calcium regulation and bone health. While both are important, K2’s role in directing calcium makes it key for skeletal integrity.

Why choose MK-7 over MK-4?

MK-7 has a longer half-life in the body, remaining active for up to 24 hours versus just a few hours for MK-4. This allows for once-daily dosage and more consistent support for calcium utilisation.

Can I take this with vitamin D?

Yes. Vitamin D and K2 work synergistically—vitamin D improves calcium absorption, while K2 directs it to bones. Many people take them together for comprehensive bone support.

Safety and Side Effects

Vitamin K2 is generally well tolerated. However, if you are taking blood-thinning medications (e.g., warfarin), consult your doctor before taking vitamin K supplements, as vitamin K can interact with these drugs. The recommended dose of 90 µg is safe for most adults, but always follow label directions.
