NatureWise Vitamin K2 600mcg Supplement with MK-7 100mcg & MK-4 500mcg - Enhanced Bioavailable Formula - K Complex for Bone Maintenance and Normal Blood Clotting - Vegan, Gluten-free, Non-GMO - 180 Soft gel capsules (6-Month Supply)

What is Vitamin K2?

Vitamin K2 is a fat-soluble micronutrient that contributes to normal bone maintenance and blood clotting.* Unlike vitamin K1, which is mainly involved in clotting, K2 helps activate proteins that direct calcium to bones and teeth, supporting calcium utilisation. Many people obtain K1 from green leafy vegetables, but K2 is harder to get from diet, particularly for vegetarians and vegans. This supplement provides both MK-4 and MK-7 forms for comprehensive support.

The Unique Combination of MK-4 and MK-7

NatureWise Vitamin K2 offers a dual formula with 500 mcg of MK-4 and 100 mcg of MK-7 per serving. MK-4 is the most clinically studied form, known for its rapid action on bone metabolism. MK-7, derived from fermented non-soya (VitaMK7®), provides extended activity and superior absorption. This combination ensures both immediate and sustained support for calcium utilisation. The soft gel capsules contain organic extra virgin olive oil to enhance absorption of this fat-soluble vitamin.

Health Benefits of Vitamin K2

Vitamin K2 activates osteocalcin, which binds calcium to the bone matrix, contributing to the maintenance of normal bones. It also activates matrix Gla-protein (MGP), which helps inhibit calcium deposition in blood vessels, supporting normal blood clotting.* Many people pair K2 with vitamin D3 for synergistic benefits, as D3 enhances calcium absorption and K2 directs it appropriately. Some users notice improvements in tooth sensitivity due to dentine remineralisation, whilst this is anecdotal.

How to Take Vitamin K2 for Best Results

The recommended dosage is one soft gel capsule daily, providing 600 mcg of vitamin K2. For optimum absorption, take it with a meal containing healthy fats. Many users combine it with vitamin D3 for comprehensive bone and cardiovascular support. It is important to consult your doctor before starting any new supplement, especially if you are on anticoagulant medication (e.g., warfarin), as K2 can interfere with its action. The 180-soft gel capsule bottle provides a 6-month supply, making it convenient for long-term undertake.

Potential Side Effects and Interactions

Vitamin K2 is generally well tolerated, with few reported side effects. Some individuals may experience mild digestive upset initially. Importantly, K2 can interact with anticoagulant medications (e.g., warfarin) by counteracting their effects. Anyone on blood thinners should only supplement K2 under medical supervision. As with any supplement, it is advisable to discuss with your doctor before undertake, particularly if you have underlying health conditions or are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Vitamin K2 vs. Vitamin K1: Why K2 Matters

Whilst both are forms of vitamin K, K1 (phylloquinone) and K2 (menaquinone) have distinct roles. K1 is primarily used for blood clotting, while K2 activates proteins that regulate calcium distribution. This difference is critical: without adequate K2, calcium may accumulate in soft tissues rather than bones. Vitamin K2 comes in several subtypes, with MK-4 and MK-7 being the most studied. MK-4 is a shorter-acting form that supports bone proteins, while MK-7 has superior bioavailability and a longer half-life, providing sustained benefits. NatureWise combines both to maximise effectiveness.
