Vitamin K2 (MK-7) Overview

Definition:
Vitamin K2 (MK-7) is a form of Vitamin K2, a fat-soluble vitamin that plays a vital role in calcium metabolism. MK-7 is a subtype derived from fermented foods and is more bioavailable and has a longer half-life in the body compared to other forms of Vitamin K2.

Function:
Vitamin K2 (MK-7) activates proteins that regulate calcium in the body, ensuring it is deposited in bones and teeth while preventing its accumulation in arteries and soft tissues. This supports bone health and cardiovascular function.

Applications:

· Bone Health: MK-7 is commonly used in dietary supplements to support bone mineralization and prevent bone-related diseases like osteoporosis.

· Cardiovascular Health: It is used to promote cardiovascular health by helping to prevent arterial calcification and supporting vascular health.

· Nutritional Supplements: MK-7 is increasingly included in multivitamins and bone health formulas to support overall wellness and aging.
