What Is Vitamin K2 and Why Is MK-7 Special?
Vitamin K2 is a fat-soluble vitamin that plays a key role in directing calcium to where it is needed most – your bones and teeth – whilst helping to maintain normal blood coagulation.* Unlike vitamin K1, which is primarily involved in blood clotting, K2 activates proteins that support bone mineralisation and vascular health. The MK-7 form offers a distinct advantage with its longer half-life (up to 72 hours), meaning it stays active in the body longer and can be taken once daily for consistent support.
Klaire Labs SFI Health Vitamin K2 provides 50 mcg of MK-7 per capsule, sourced from a soya-free extract for maximum tolerability. This supplement is free from common allergens and artificial additives, making it a clean choice for daily wellness routines.
Key Benefits of Vitamin K2 Supplementation*
-
Bone Health Support: Vitamin K2 helps activate osteocalcin, a protein that binds calcium to the bone matrix, contributing to normal bone density and strength.*
-
Normal Blood Coagulation: By activating matrix Gla protein, vitamin K2 supports the body’s natural blood clotting processes.*
-
Calcium Utilisation: K2 directs dietary calcium to bones and teeth rather than allowing it to accumulate in soft tissues, promoting proper calcium metabolism.*
-
Long-Lasting Activity: The MK-7 form provides sustained blood levels, making it a convenient choice for daily supplementation.
These benefits are especially relevant for individuals concerned with bone health, postmenopausal women, older adults, and those looking to maintain cardiovascular wellness.*

Who May Benefit from Vitamin K2?
Vitamin K2 supplementation may be beneficial for a wide range of individuals. Those with limited dietary intake of fermented foods (especially natto) may not get enough K2 from diet alone. People using certain medications, such as blood thinners (e.g., warfarin), need to consult their health care professional before taking K2, as it can interact with anticoagulants. Others who may consider K2 include:
- Individuals seeking to support bone density and reduce age-related bone loss.
- Those wanting to maintain cardiovascular health by supporting normal blood coagulation and calcium regulation.*
- People taking calcium or vitamin D supplements, as K2 works synergistically with these nutrients to ensure proper calcium utilisation.*
Always consult a health care professional before starting any new supplement regimen.
How to Incorporate Vitamin K2 into Your Routine
The recommended dosage is one capsule daily, or as directed by your health care professional. Since vitamin K2 is fat-soluble, taking it with a meal containing healthy fats may enhance absorption. Each bottle contains 60 capsules, providing a two-month supply at the suggested serving.
For best results, consider pairing vitamin K2 with vitamin D and calcium to support the body’s calcium metabolism pathway.* However, always consult a professional for personalized advice.
