Quality and Purity – What to Expect from Micro Ingredients
Micro Ingredients is dedicated to producing high-quality supplements that meet rigorous standards. This vitamin K2 is manufactured in a cGMP-compliant facility, ensuring consistency and purity. Every batch undergoes third-party laboratory testing, so you can be confident that what's on the label is exactly what's in the bottle.
The product is Non-GM and free from common allergens: no soya, no dairy, and no gluten. This makes it suitable for a wide range of dietary preferences and sensitivities. The softgels are made from gelatine, so they are not suitable for vegans, but they offer a traditional soft gel capsule form that many prefer over tablets or capsules.
Key Ingredients and Bioavailability – The Coconut Oil Advantage
Vitamin K2 is a fat-soluble vitamin, meaning it requires dietary fat for optimal absorption. Micro Ingredients addresses this by formulating their vitamin K2 in a base of coconut oil, a medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) rich oil that is easily digested and utilised by the body. The soft gel capsule format encapsulates the oil-based mixture, protecting the vitamin from degradation and ensuring each dose delivers the full 200 mcg of MK-7.
This thoughtful delivery system supports consistent absorption, making it easier to incorporate into your daily wellness routine. Each soft gel capsule contains only the active ingredient with the coconut oil carrier—no unnecessary fillers or additives. The result is a clean, focused supplement that delivers results without extra ingredients you don't need.
What Is Vitamin K2 MK-7 and Why Choose It?
Vitamin K is a fat-soluble vitamin that plays a key role in several bodily functions. There are two main forms: K1 (phylloquinone) found in leafy greens, and K2 (menaquinone) which is produced by bacteria and found in fermented foods and animal products. Vitamin K2 is further divided into subtypes, with MK-7 (menaquinone-7) being one of the most studied and bio-available forms.
Micro Ingredients Vitamin K2 provides 200 mcg of MK-7 per serving. This specific form is known for its longer half-life in the body compared to MK-4, meaning it remains active for a longer period, allowing for once-daily dosage. MK-7 contributes to the maintenance of normal bones and normal blood clotting.*
How to Incorporate Vitamin K2 into Your Daily Routine
Adding a vitamin K2 supplement to your daily regimen is straightforward. Since it pairs well with fat, take it alongside a meal containing healthy fats—such as eggs, avocado, or nuts—to maximise absorption. Micro Ingredients recommends one soft gel capsule per day, providing a 300-day supply from each pouch.
For those already taking vitamin D3, combining it with K2 may offer synergistic benefits, as both nutrients work together to regulate calcium distribution. However, always consult with a health care professional before starting any new supplement, especially if you are taking anticoagulant medications or have specific health conditions.
Frequently Asked Questions About Vitamin K2 MK-7
What is the difference between MK-7 and MK-4?
MK-7 is derived from natto (fermented soya) and has a longer half-life than MK-4, requiring only one dose per day. MK-4 is synthetic and must be taken multiple times daily. MK-7 is generally considered more effective for supporting bone and cardiovascular health due to its sustained activity.
Can this supplement be taken with vitamin D?
Yes, vitamin D and vitamin K2 work together. Vitamin D aids calcium absorption, while vitamin K2 helps direct calcium to bones and teeth rather than soft tissues. Many people take them together for enhanced benefits. Always follow recommended dosages.
Is it safe for someone on blood thinners?
Vitamin K can interfere with anticoagulant medications like warfarin. If you are taking blood thinners, consult your doctor before adding any vitamin K supplement.
How long does one pouch last?
Each pouch contains 300 softgels, with a recommended serving of one soft gel capsule per day. This provides a 300-day supply—almost a full year—making it a convenient and cost-effective choice.
