Superior Source Vitamin K2 MK-7 (Menaquinone-7) 100 mcg Sublingual Tablets – Bone and Heart Support – 60 Count

Who May Benefit from Vitamin K2 Supplementation?

Individuals who may particularly benefit from supplementing with vitamin K2 include those with limited intake of fermented foods like natto, older adults (as K2 production declines with age), people on blood-thinning medications (consult a healthcare professional first), and anyone taking high-dose vitamin D or calcium supplements without K2. Bariatric patients often experience nutrient malabsorption, making the sublingual form an ideal choice. If you follow a plant-based diet, note that MK-7 from natto is vegan-friendly.

Understanding Vitamin K2: MK-7 vs. MK-4

Vitamin K2 exists in several forms, the most common being MK-4 and MK-7. MK-4 has a short half-life and is typically found in animal-based foods, while MK-7, sourced from natto (fermented soy), remains active in the body much longer—up to 72 hours after a single dose. This allows for once-daily supplementation with consistent levels. Superior Source uses MK-7 (menaquinone-7) to provide sustained support for your body’s calcium management system. The 100 mcg dose aligns with amounts studied in clinical research for bone and cardiovascular health.

Key Benefits of Vitamin K2 MK-7

• Supports bone strength*: Vitamin K2 activates osteocalcin, a protein that binds calcium to the bone matrix, contributing to bone density and strength.
• Aids healthy heart function*: By helping to prevent calcium deposition in arteries, K2 supports arterial flexibility and cardiovascular health.
• Works synergistically with vitamin D and calcium: While vitamin D enhances calcium absorption, K2 ensures that calcium is directed to the bones where it belongs, not to soft tissues.
• Promotes dental health*: Adequate K2 may support tooth remineralization and gum health.

The Advantage of Sublingual Delivery

Traditional tablets and capsules must be digested and metabolised by the liver, which can reduce the amount of active nutrient reaching your bloodstream. Sublingual tablets bypass the digestive tract and liver, delivering vitamin K2 directly into the bloodstream via the mucous membranes under the tongue. This can be especially advantageous for those with gastrointestinal issues or poor absorption. The tablets dissolve quickly and have a pleasant taste—No water needed. Each tablet is individually sealed for freshness.

How to Incorporate Vitamin K2 into Your Routine

Take one sublingual tablet daily, preferably with a meal containing fat to enhance absorption (vitamin K2 is fat-soluble). Place the tablet under your tongue and allow it to dissolve completely. Avoid swallowing whole. For best results, combine with a balanced diet rich in leafy greens and a vitamin D supplement. Always consult your healthcare provider before beginning any new supplement regimen, especially if you are on medications like warfarin or have kidney issues.

What Makes This Vitamin K2 MK-7 Supplement Unique?

Vitamin K2 is an essential nutrient that plays a critical role in directing calcium to your bones and teeth while helping to keep it out of soft tissues like arteries. Superior Source Vitamin K2 MK-7 delivers 100 mcg of menaquinone-7 per sublingual tablet, a form known for its prolonged activity in the body. What sets this supplement apart is its sublingual delivery system—the tablet dissolves under your tongue, allowing for rapid absorption directly into the bloodstream. This is especially beneficial for those with digestive concerns or bariatric patients who may have reduced nutrient absorption. Manufactured in a family-owned facility since 1998, each tablet is designed for convenience and efficacy.

Safety and Quality Considerations

Superior Source has been formulating sublingual vitamins since 1998 in their own manufacturing facility. Each batch undergoes quality control testing to ensure potency and purity. The product is free from common allergens and is non-GMO. Vitamin K2 is generally well-tolerated, but excessive intake may interact with anticoagulant medications. Symptoms of too much vitamin K are rare but can include flushing or gastrointestinal upset. Stick to the recommended dosage unless directed by your doctor. Consult your healthcare professional before use, especially if you are taking blood thinners.
