What Is MK-7 Vitamin K2?

Vitamin K2, particularly the MK-7 (menaquinone-7) form, is a fat-soluble vitamin essential for calcium metabolism. Unlike vitamin K1 from leafy greens, MK-7 boasts a longer half-life and superior absorption, making it an optimal choice for supporting bone and cardiovascular health. Jarrow Formulae MK-7 is naturally produced via fermentation by Bacillus subtilis subsp. natto, ensuring a high-quality, bio-available source.

Key Benefits of MK-7

Maintains Normal Bones

Vitamin K2 MK-7 contributes to the maintenance of normal bones by activating osteocalcin, which helps bind calcium to the bone matrix. This is particularly important as we age. Regular supplementation alongside calcium and vitamin D can support normal bone mineral density.

Normal Blood Clotting Function

Vitamin K2 also plays a role in normal blood clotting by activating clotting factors. The MK-7 form is particularly effective due to its longer half-life and better bioavailability. By activating matrix Gla-protein (MGP), MK-7 helps direct calcium away from arteries and into bones, supporting normal blood vessel function.

Superior Absorption and Activity

Thanks to its extended half-life and high bioavailability, MK-7 maintains stable blood levels with once-daily dosage. Jarrow Formulae MK-7 offers a convenient way to get the most active form of vitamin K.

How to Take Jarrow Formulae MK-7

Take one soft gel capsule per day with a meal to enhance absorption, as vitamin K2 is fat-soluble. Each soft gel capsule contains 90 mcg of MK-7. Follow the dosage recommended by your health care provider, as individual needs may vary.

Who Should Consider Taking MK-7?

Individuals concerned about bone density, such as postmenopausal women or older adults, may benefit from MK-7 supplementation. Those interested in supporting normal blood clotting may also consider it. People with limited intake of fermented foods like natto may find a supplement helpful. Since MK-7 works synergistically with vitamin D, those taking vitamin D may want to add K2 for balanced calcium metabolism. Always consult a health care professional before starting any new supplement.

Potential Interactions and Safety

Vitamin K2 is generally well tolerated. However, if you are taking anticoagulant medication (e.g., warfarin), consult your doctor before uses, as vitamin K can interfere with these drugs. Do not exceed the recommended dose. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should seek medical advice.
