What Is Vitamin K2?

Vitamin K2, also called menaquinone, is a fat-soluble vitamin that plays a key role in directing calcium to bones and teeth while helping to prevent calcium buildup in soft tissues. Unlike Vitamin K1 (phylloquinone), which mainly supports blood clotting, K2 is vital for long-term bone and cardiovascular health. The MK-7 form in this supplement, sourced from fermented chickpeas, offers better bioavailability and a longer half-life in the bloodstream than other forms.

Vitamin K2 MK-7 vs. Other Forms

Vitamin K2 comes in several subtypes, with MK-4 and MK-7 being the most studied. MK-7 is derived from bacterial fermentation (here, from chickpeas) and stays active in the body for up to 24 hours, making once-daily dosing effective. MK-4 has a shorter half-life and usually requires multiple doses. Compared to Vitamin K1, MK-7 shows greater bioactivity in supporting bone and cardiovascular health. This supplement provides a low 45 mcg dose of MK-7, ideal for daily maintenance.

How to Choose a Quality Vitamin K2 Supplement

When choosing a K2 supplement, consider the form (MK-7 or MK-4), dosage, and source. This product uses MK-7 from non-soy, fermented chickpeas—a vegan-friendly option. It is Non-GMO Project Verified, Vegan Certified, and free from gluten, soy, and artificial fillers. Third-party testing guarantees purity and potency. The UV-protective Plantgel capsule and coconut MCT oil improve stability and absorption, making it a premium choice.

Recommended Dosage and Usage

Take one (1) veggie softgel daily with a meal containing fat for best absorption. The added coconut MCT oil provides healthy fats to enhance bioavailability. Each bottle contains 90 servings—a three-month supply at the recommended dosage. Do not exceed the suggested dose unless directed by a healthcare practitioner.

Potential Side Effects and Interactions

Vitamin K2 is generally well-tolerated at recommended doses. However, individuals taking blood-thinning medications (e.g., warfarin) should consult their healthcare provider before using this supplement, as K2 may interfere with anticoagulant therapy. Pregnant or nursing women, or those with a medical condition, should seek medical advice before use. If you experience any adverse reactions, discontinue use and consult a healthcare practitioner.
