Description
Menaquinone-7 (MK-7) is a naturally derived form of vitamin K2 obtained through bacterial fermentation. It plays a crucial role in bone and cardiovascular health by activating key proteins involved in calcium regulation. MK-7 directs calcium to the bones, promoting bone density, and inhibits calcium deposition in arteries, supporting cardiovascular function. Typical dosages range from 45 to 180 mcg daily, but consultation with a healthcare professional is recommended, particularly for individuals on anticoagulant medications, due to potential interactions. While generally safe, allergic reactions are possible, though rare.
