Vitamin K2 MK-7 100mcg by Osavi
These softgels contain vitamin k2 as menaquinone-7 (MK-7), 100 mcg per softgel, dissolved in coconut MCT oil. The K2 comes from K2VITAL®, a patented and pure MK-7 raw material from a plant source. One softgel per day, and the bottle is good for four months.
What menaquinone-7 (MK-7) is
Vitamin K exists in two main forms: K1 and K2. MK-7 is a variant of K2 with a longer side chain than the shorter MK-4. The softgel provides 100 mcg of vitamin K2 (133% RI), with one dose per day. Vitamin K contributes to normal blood clotting and to the maintenance of normal bones. Those are the two permitted health claims for vitamin K.
Vitamin K2 in your diet
Naturally, vitamin K2 is mainly found in fermented products. The best-known example is natto, a Japanese dish made of fermented soybeans, and in smaller amounts you will find K2 in certain cheeses and animal products. This softgel provides a fixed amount of 100 mcg per day, so you know exactly what you are taking in.
Why MK-7 is in MCT oil
Vitamin K2 is a fat-soluble vitamin. In this softgel, the MK-7 is therefore dissolved in coconut MCT oil. We recommend taking it around a meal. The softgel is also small and virtually odorless and tasteless, which makes it easy to swallow. Good to know: the softgel itself is made of gelatin, so this product is not suitable for vegetarians or vegans.
K2VITAL® as a raw material
The vitamin K2 in this product comes from K2VITAL®, a patented MK-7 from a plant source with fixed, standardized specifications. The rest of the composition has been deliberately kept clean: free from GMOs, gluten, lactose, and soy, and without palm oil or unnecessary additives. What many people do not know: with vitamin K you pay attention not only to the number of micrograms, but also to the form. MK-7 was deliberately chosen here. A patented raw material also has the advantage that the composition remains the same from batch to batch.
In short: vitamin k2 as MK-7 from K2VITAL®, 100 mcg per softgel in a fat base of MCT oil. A simple, clean formula with one softgel per day.
