Vitamin K2, MK7

Healthy Origins® Vitamin K2 MK7 (from Natto) provides Vitamin K2 in its most biologically active form called Menaquinone 7 or MK-7 for short. Vitamin K2 as MK-7 has superior absorption and retention in the body when compared to K1 – the typical supplemental form. Natural Vitamin K2 may help to support bone health, cardiovascular health, calcium metabolism and arterial health.*

Vitamin K2, specifically in the form of menaquinone-7 (MK-7), is gaining attention for its potential health benefits. Here are some of the reported benefits associated with Vitamin K2 MK-7:

1. Bone Health: Vitamin K2 MK7 is believed to play a critical role in bone metabolism by helping regulate calcium within the bones. It helps activate osteocalcin, a protein that binds calcium to the bone matrix, thus contributing to bone mineralization. This may be particularly important for preventing osteoporosis and improving bone density.
2. Cardiovascular Health: Vitamin K2 MK7 is thought to help prevent arterial calcification by directing calcium away from arteries and into the bones and teeth. This may contribute to cardiovascular health by reducing the risk of arterial stiffness and atherosclerosis.
3. Dental Health: Vitamin K2, along with vitamin D and calcium, is important for maintaining oral health. This product supports the proper mineralization of teeth and may help prevent dental cavities.
4. Cognitive Health: Different studies suggest a potential link between Vitamin K2 and cognitive function. Adequate vitamin K levels may contribute to brain health, but more research is needed in this area.
5. Anti-Inflammatory Effects: Vitamin K2 MK7 may have anti-inflammatory properties, which could be beneficial for overall health. Chronic inflammation is linked to various health conditions, and reducing inflammation may contribute to disease prevention.
6. Insulin Sensitivity: Different studies have provided evidence suggesting that Vitamin K2 MK7 may play a role in improving insulin sensitivity, which could be beneficial for individuals with diabetes or those at risk of developing insulin resistance.
