Sports Research Extra Strength Vitamin K2 as MK-7 180mcg with Coconut MCT Oil - 60 Vegan Softgels

What is Vitamin K2?

Discover Sports Research® Extra — Vitamin K2, also called menaquinone, is a fat-soluble nutrient that plays a vital role in maintaining strong bones and a healthy cardiovascular system. Unlike vitamin K1, which primarily supports blood clotting, K2 activates proteins that help direct calcium to bones and teeth while preventing its accumulation in soft tissues. The MK-7 form, obtained through natural fermentation, offers superior bioavailability and a prolonged half-life, making it an ideal choice for daily supplementation.

Health Benefits of Vitamin K2

• Bone Support: Vitamin K2 contributes to the maintenance of normal bones by activating osteocalcin, a protein that binds calcium to the bone matrix.*
• Cardiovascular Health: By activating matrix Gla-protein (MGP), K2 helps maintain flexible arteries and supports normal heart function.*
• Synergy with Vitamin D: K2 works alongside vitamin D to ensure calcium is utilised where it is needed most—in bones, not arteries.

Many users report feeling more confident in their bone and heart health regimen when including this supplement. As one reviewer noted, taking separate K2 and D3 allows for customisable dosage.

Why Choose MK-7 Form?

MK-7 (menaquinone-7) is the most bio-available form of vitamin K2. It remains active in the bloodstream for up to 24 hours, allowing for convenient once-daily dosage. This extra-strength formula delivers 180mcg per soft gel capsule—a research-backed amount to support bone density and arterial health. Sourced from fermented chickpeas (not soya), it is ideal for those with soya sensitivities.

The Role of Coconut MCT Oil

Vitamin K2 is fat-soluble, meaning it requires dietary fat for optimal absorption. Our vegan softgels include coconut MCT oil, a source of medium-chain triglycerides that enhance bioavailability. Taking the soft gel capsule with a meal containing healthy fats further optimises uptake.
