NOW Foods Vitamin K-2 (MK-7) 100mcg
by NOW Foods
"MenaQ7 vitamin K2 at 100mcg — the clinically studied MK-7 form for calcium direction and cardiovascular protection"
Overview
NOW Foods Vitamin K-2 provides 100mcg of vitamin K2 as MK-7 (MenaQ7), the most clinically studied form of vitamin K2. MK-7 has a significantly longer half-life than MK-4 (72 hours vs 1-2 hours), allowing once-daily dosing. Vitamin K2 activates Matrix GLA Protein (MGP) and osteocalcin, directing calcium into bones and teeth while preventing calcium deposition in arteries and soft tissues. This is why K2 is essential when supplementing with vitamin D3 and calcium — it ensures calcium goes where it should.
