What is vitamin K2 MK-7 good for?
Several studies indicate that vitamin K2 as MK-7 may have a main role in bone tissue homoeostasis at already 45 µg/daily improving bone mineral density (BMD) and playing a critical role in the activation of bone formation by osteoblasts cells, and in the suppression of bone resorption.
What is MK-7 made from?
The MK-7 form of vitamin K2 is the most bioavailable form among the 14 isomers of menaquinones. Vitamin K2 as MK-7, when obtained using Gnosis by Lesaffre patented fermentation process, is a molecule that is naturally produced by the Bacillus subtilis found in natto.
What’s the difference between vitamin K2 and k7?
Answer: Two forms of vitamin K2 are typically found in supplements: MK-4 (synthetic) and MK-7 (natural, from natto). There are significant differences between them: in paticular, MK-7 has a longer half-life, so a smaller dose can be used. Two newer forms of MK-7 are available that are synthetic.
Which is better vitamin K2 MK-4 or MK-7?
Likely due to its longer side chain conferring greater liposolubility, MK-7 has a much longer half-life than MK-4. This is a main reason that dosages of MK-7 may be as low as 45 µg daily and that single daily dosing is possible. The present study used 100 µg once daily.
What is the difference between vitamin K2 MK-7 and Mk4?
Mk4 and mk7 are both forms of vitamin k2 derived from different sources. While mk4 is derived from animal sources like dairy products, mk7 is derived from bacterial fermentation.

What is k7 vitamin?
Vitamin K-7 is a long-lasting form of vitamin K. This vitamin naturally occurs in high concentrations in natto, a fermented soybean dish popular in Japan. Vitamin K-7 plays an important role in blood coagulation and bone formation and maintenance.
Does Natto contain vitamin K2?
Interestingly, Bacillus subtilis exists naturally and produces MK-7 (Vitamin K2) as a passive byproduct. With over 1000mcg of Vitamin K2 per serving of Natto, and 90% of that being MK-7, it becomes obvious as to where the great health benefits were coming from.
