vK2 Vitamin K2 MK-4 & MK-7 – Bone and Heart Support – 60 Capsules

Why Dual-Form K2 (MK-4 and MK-7)?

Vitamin K2 exists in two primary forms: menaquinone-4 (MK-4) and menaquinone-7 (MK-7). MK-4 has a short half-life of about one hour, making it ideal for rapid activity. It occurs naturally in animal foods like meat and dairy. MK-7, derived from natto or bacterial fermentation, has a half-life of up to three days, providing sustained blood levels. By combining both, vK2 offers the best of both worlds. This dual strategy is especially beneficial for those aiming to optimise calcium utilisation, support arterial flexibility, and maintain bone density.

Key Benefits for Bone and Heart Health

Vitamin K2 plays a crucial role in calcium metabolism. It activates proteins that direct calcium to bones and teeth where it is needed, and helps remove calcium from soft tissues like arteries. By maintaining this balance, vK2 may support bone density and cardiovascular function. The main benefits include:

• Bone Support: Vitamin K2 activates osteocalcin, a protein that binds calcium to the bone matrix, helping to maintain strong, healthy bones.
• Heart Health: K2 activates matrix Gla protein (MGP), which inhibits calcium deposition in arterial walls, supporting normal arterial function.
• D3 Companion: When supplementing with vitamin D3, the body’s need for K2 increases. vK2 is formulated to pair perfectly with 5,000 IU vitamin D3 supplements, ensuring that the extra calcium absorbed is properly directed.

The Perfect Companion to Vitamin D3

Vitamin D3 enhances intestinal absorption of calcium. However, without adequate vitamin K2, this calcium may not be efficiently utilised. In fact, excess calcium without sufficient K2 has been associated with soft tissue calcification. vK2 was specifically designed to work alongside D3, guiding calcium to bones and teeth while supporting heart health. If you already take a vitamin D3 supplement—especially at 5,000 IU or higher—adding vK2 can help complete your calcium support regimen.

Who Should Consider vK2?

vK2 is a versatile supplement suitable for many individuals. Those concerned about bone health, particularly as they age, may benefit from dual-action support. Individuals taking vitamin D3 supplements, people with limited sun exposure, and anyone interested in proactive cardiovascular support may find vK2 helpful. Additionally, those on a diet low in vitamin K2-rich foods (such as natto, cheese, or grass-fed butter) can uses vK2 to fill nutritional gaps. Always consult a health care professional before starting any new supplement.

Quality You Can Trust

vK2 features pharmaceutical-grade ingredients: MK-4 at 99% trans form and MK-7 at 70% trans form, sourced from trusted European suppliers. The trans form is the biologically active configuration, ensuring maximum efficacy. One hallmark of genuine, high-purity vitamin K2 is its natural yellow colour—vK2’s capsules exhibit this characteristic. Manufactured in the USA, vK2 comes from NHS Global Distributors, a BBB A+ rated company with over 25 years of experience in premium dietary supplements. Each batch undergoes rigorous quality control to ensure potency and purity.

Why Trans Form Matters

The trans configuration of vitamin K2 is critical for its biological activity. The compound must be in the all-trans form to effectively activate vitamin K-dependent proteins. vK2 uses MK-4 with 99% trans content and MK-7 with 70% trans content, ensuring that you receive a highly active supplement. Lower-quality supplements may contain significant amounts of cis-isomers, which are inactive. vK2’s commitment to high trans content means you get reliable support for bone and cardiovascular health.

Usage and Safety
