Swanson Natural Vitamin K2 (Menaquinone-7 from Natto) 50 mcg, 30 Softgels (2 Pack)

Vitamin K2, specifically the menaquinone-7 (MK-7) form, plays a vital role in directing calcium to where it's needed most—your bones and teeth—while helping to keep it away from soft tissues like arteries. Swanson's Vitamin K2 supplement provides 50 mcg of MK-7 sourced from natto, a traditional fermented soybean food rich in this nutrient. Available in convenient softgels, this 2-pack offers a 60-day supply at an excellent value.

What Is Vitamin K2 and Why Do You Need It?

Vitamin K2 is a fat-soluble vitamin that activates proteins responsible for calcium binding in bone matrix and inhibiting calcium buildup in blood vessels. The MK-7 form from natto is particularly effective due to its longer half-life in the body, providing sustained support for calcium metabolism. This nutrient is essential for maintaining strong, healthy bones and a healthy cardiovascular system.

• Bone Health: Helps in the development and maintenance of bones and teeth by activating proteins that bind calcium to bone matrix.
• Cardiovascular Support: Helps in the maintenance of cardiovascular health by inhibiting calcium buildup in arteries, promoting arterial elasticity.
• Calcium Utilization: Works synergistically with vitamin D to support proper calcium use in bones and teeth.

Who Should Consider Taking Vitamin K2?

Individuals who supplement with vitamin D, those concerned about bone health as they age, and anyone looking to support heart health may benefit from adding vitamin K2. People whose diets lack natto or other fermented foods might have lower K2 levels. Always consult a healthcare professional before starting any new supplement regimen.

Safety and Considerations

Vitamin K2 is generally well tolerated at recommended doses. However, if you take blood-thinning medications such as warfarin, consult your doctor before use, as vitamin K can interact with these drugs. No serious side effects have been reported at the 50 mcg dose. Keep out of reach of children. As with any supplement, read the label and follow directions for use.
