Vitamin K2 MK-7
supplementMenaquinone-7 from natto with 72+ hour half-life. Most popular K2 form for directing calcium to bones and teeth.
Reported Benefits
8-week supplementation of 360 mcg MK-7 reduces arterial stiffness and blood pressure
Rønn SH, et al.
In healthy adults, 360 mcg MK-7 daily for 8 weeks significantly reduced carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity by 1.4 m/s and improved 24-hour blood pressures.
Menaquinone-7 supplementation improves arterial stiffness in healthy postmenopausal women. A double-blind randomised clinical trial.
Knapen MHJ, et al.
Healthy postmenopausal women with baseline arterial stiffness received 180 mcg MK-7 daily for 3 years, resulting in significant improvements in carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity and arterial elasticity versus placebo.
Nutritional-dose Vitamin K2 as MK-7 improves arterial elasticity in healthy adults
Knapen MHJ, et al.
In 243 healthy adults aged 40-70 with vitamin K insufficiency, 180 mcg MK-7 daily for 1 year decreased dp-ucMGP and carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity, maintaining arterial flexibility unlike placebo.
Effect of menaquinone-7 supplementation on osteocalcin and arterial stiffness in healthy prepubertal children
van Summeren M, et al.
Healthy prepubertal children supplemented with modest MK-7 doses showed increased circulating MK-7 levels and osteocalcin carboxylation without adverse effects.
Three-year low-dose menaquinone-7 supplementation helps decrease bone loss in healthy postmenopausal women.
Knapen MHJ, Drummen NEA, Schurgers LJ, et al.
In 244 healthy postmenopausal women, 180 mcg daily MK-7 for 3 years significantly improved bone mineral density, content, and strength compared to placebo, with notable effects in those with higher baseline arterial stiffness.
