Carlson Vitamin K2 MK-7 (Menaquinone), 90 mcg, Bone Support, 60 Softgels

Key Benefits of Vitamin K2 Supplementation

• Bone Support: Vitamin K2 activates osteocalcin, a protein that binds calcium to the bone matrix, helping to maintain bone density and strength.*
• Calcium Bioavailability: By supporting proper calcium utilisation, K2 helps ensure calcium goes to bones rather than arteries or soft tissues.*
• Cardiovascular Health: Through its role in vascular health, vitamin K2 may help maintain arterial flexibility and normal blood pressure.*
• Dental Health: Supports the remineralisation of tooth enamel and overall oral health.*

How to Use Carlson Vitamin K2 MK-7

Take one softgel daily, preferably with a meal containing fat for optimal absorption. Each softgel provides 90 mcg of MK-7, a dose consistent with clinical studies supporting bone and cardiovascular health. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Always read the label and follow the directions for use.

Quality and Testing You Can Trust

Carlson tests every batch of Vitamin K2 MK-7 in an independent, registered laboratory for potency, purity, and quality. The softgels are easy to swallow and free from common allergens like gluten, milk, and soy (check label for details). This commitment to third-party testing gives you confidence in what you’re putting into your body.

Understanding Vitamin K2: MK-7 vs. MK-4

Vitamin K2 comes in several forms, with MK-7 (menaquinone-7) being one of the most studied. Unlike MK-4, which has a short half-life, MK-7 remains active in the body longer, providing sustained support for calcium metabolism. This form is naturally derived from fermentation (natto) and is widely recognized for its bioavailability. Carlson uses MenaQ7, a premium MK-7 ingredient backed by clinical research, ensuring you receive a consistent, high-quality dose.

Who May Benefit from Vitamin K2?

Adults looking to support long-term bone health, especially those with limited dietary intake of vitamin K2 (found in natto, cheese, and certain fermented foods), may consider supplementation. Individuals concerned about age-related bone changes, post-menopausal women, and those on a low-fat diet (which reduces K2 absorption) may also find this supplement helpful. As always, consult your healthcare professional before starting any new regimen.

Why Vitamin K2 Matters for Bone Health

Vitamin K2, also known as menaquinone, plays an essential role in directing calcium to where it’s needed most—your bones and teeth—while helping to prevent calcium buildup in soft tissues. Carlson Vitamin K2 MK-7 delivers 90 mcg of this vital nutrient in a single, easy to swallow softgel, made with clinically studied MenaQ7 to support strong, healthy bones.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between vitamin K1 and K2?

Vitamin K1 (phylloquinone) is primarily involved in blood clotting and is found in leafy greens. Vitamin K2 (menaquinone) focuses on calcium regulation and bone health. While both are important, K2’s role in directing calcium makes it key for skeletal integrity.

Why choose MK-7 over MK-4?

MK-7 has a longer half-life in the body, meaning it stays active for up to 24 hours versus just a few hours for MK-4. This allows for once-daily dosing and more consistent support for calcium utilisation.

Can I take this with vitamin D?

Yes. Vitamin D and K2 work synergistically—vitamin D improves calcium absorption, while K2 directs it to bones. Many people take them together for comprehensive bone support.

Safety and Side Effects

Vitamin K2 is generally well tolerated. However, if you are taking blood-thinning medications (e.g., warfarin), consult your doctor before taking vitamin K supplements, as vitamin K can interact with these drugs. The recommended dose of 90 mcg is safe for most adults, but always follow label directions.

Support Your Skeletal Strength

Carlson Vitamin K2 MK-7 with MenaQ7 provides a science-backed approach to bone health and calcium bioavailability. With third-party quality testing and an easy softgel format, it’s a simple addition to your daily wellbeing routine. Remember to pair it with a balanced diet and regular exercise for best results.
