Now Mk-7 100mcg Vitamin K2 Bone & Cardiovascular Support Supplement, 60 Capsules

NOW Vitamin K2 provides menaquinone-7, usually written MK-7, at 100mcg per capsule. K2 comes in several forms and MK-7 is the one most supplements use, because it remains in the bloodstream for days rather than hours, so a single daily capsule keeps levels steady. Vitamin K contributes to the maintenance of normal bones and to normal blood clotting.

Specs

• Active: Vitamin K2 as MK-7, 100mcg per capsule
• Form: Capsules
• Pack size: 60 capsules, around two months
• Serving: One capsule daily with food
• Brand: NOW Foods (USA)

Benefits

• Vitamin K contributes to the maintenance of normal bones, which is why K2 often appears alongside calcium and vitamin D in a bone routine
• MK-7 stays in the blood for days where MK-4 lasts hours, so one capsule a day is enough rather than several doses
• K2 is fat soluble, so taking it with a meal that contains some fat makes a real difference to absorption
• Frequently taken together with vitamin D3, and the two are commonly sold as a pair for that reason
• NOW manufactures to GMP standards with batch testing, which matters for a nutrient dosed in micrograms

How to Use

• Take one capsule daily with a meal containing some fat
• Can be taken at the same time as vitamin D3
• Do not exceed the stated daily serving
• Speak to your doctor before use if you take warfarin or any other anticoagulant. Vitamin K directly affects how those medicines work
• Store below 25 degrees Celsius, away from light and heat
• Food supplements should not replace a varied, balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle
