Key Facts
- Vitamin K2 (menaquinone) is a fat-soluble nutrient that activates proteins responsible for directing calcium to bones and away from soft tissues
- Supports bone mineralization, cardiovascular health, and vascular elasticity through activation of matrix Gla protein
- The MK-4 form in this product has a shorter half-life (1 hour) but concentrates in tissues; MK-7 variants accumulate systemically over time
- Liquid formulation with metered dosing allows precise intake and enhanced absorption compared to capsule forms
Ingredients
Vitamin K2 (as K2 MK-4), medium chain triglycerides, mixed tocopherols.
Why We Chose This
Vitamin K2 addresses a widespread nutritional gap: most people don't consume enough from food sources like fermented foods and dairy. Clinical evidence shows that adequate K2 status is associated with improved bone density at the lumbar spine and maintained arterial flexibility, particularly in postmenopausal women and those with cardiovascular risk factors. The MK-4 form in this liquid concentrate is well-researched for bone metabolism and activates osteocalcin, a protein that helps bind calcium to bone matrix. Unlike calcium supplementation alone, K2 works as a directional mechanism, ensuring calcium reaches skeletal tissue rather than accumulating in arteries. This formulation's liquid delivery system with a metered dropper provides flexibility for individualized dosing and consistent absorption, making it practical for long-term use in bone and cardiovascular health protocols.
