MK7 Vitamin K2 enhances bone and cardiovascular health. This essential fat-soluble vitamin regulates transportation and distribution of calcium in the body. It activates the osteocalcin proteins which incorporate calcium into the bone matrix. Without K2, calcium and vitamin D3 cannot function properly or effectively. Without K2, calcium in the bloodstream cannot be utilized for bone-building, and worse it can be deposited in arteries in the form of plaque (a risk factor for heart disease). Vitamin K2 in the form of MK7 (menaquinone 7) is more stable and stays in the body longer than other forms of vitamin K.

Bone Metabolism - cycle of disassembly and regeneration

Every seven years, bone remodelling leads to a complete replacement of the skeleton. The bone matrix contains cells that both build‑up and remove old and damaged bone tissue. Maintenance of the proper balance between these two functions is vital for good health and must be managed throughout life. The natural and expected age‑related loss of bone mineral density over time increases the risk for fragile bones that can lead to fractures. When we are younger, new bone is created faster than old bone is broken down. Peak bone mass is reached sometime after the age of 20 where it levels off until it begins a natural decline.

Bone mechanics – osteoblasts, osteoclasts, and osteocalcin

Osteoblasts and osteoclasts are the two types of bone cells that break-down and build-up bone in the bone remodeling process. Osteoclasts are the bone-disassembly cells, osteoblasts are the bone-building cells. Osteoblasts secrete a protein called osteocalcin into the blood. When osteocalcin is in an activated state (activated by K2), osteocalcin binds to calcium and transports it from the blood and into the bone. Osteoblasts then integrate this calcium into the bone matrix, thereby increasing the bone‘s mineral density and strength. As part of the remodelling cycle, osteoclasts remove old or damaged bone, so that it can be replaced with new bone.

Vitamin K2 is an essential fat-soluble vitamin vital for optimal bone and cardiovascular health. It regulates the transport and distribution of calcium in the body. K2 variant MK-7 surpasses other K2 forms due to its superior bioavailability, longer half-life, and lower dosage requirement. K2VITAL® is the purest, most active and proven safe Vitamin K2 as MK-7.

Vitamin K2 Pharmacy Brochure

MK7 Vitamin K2 (K2VITAL®) greatly improves both bone and heart health via regulation of calcium balance in the body. It aids calcium in reaching the bone mass and incorporating calcium then into the bone, where it is needed for bone building and strengthening. Furthermore, it ensures calcium is not deposited in the arteries, where it can build up and cause serious cardiovascular risk.

Vitamin K2 activates specific proteins for the transportation and binding of calcium from the arteries and blood into the bone matrix. Vitamin K2 as MK7 (methaquinone-7) is more stable and stays in the body longer than other forms of vitamin K.
