The Vitamin Shoppe Vitamin K2 MK-7 300mcg Triple Strength - Bone & Heart Health

Key Benefits of Vitamin K2

Vitamin K2 is essential for directing calcium to your bones and teeth while keeping it out of artery walls. This triple-strength formula provides 300mcg of MK-7 per capsule—the most bioavailable and long-lasting form. It activates osteocalcin to bind calcium to your bone matrix, supporting bone density as you age, and activates matrix Gla-protein to prevent calcium buildup in arteries, promoting heart health. Pair it with vitamin D for optimal calcium use: D boosts absorption, K2 ensures proper placement.*

• Supports bone health – Helps maintain strong bones by activating osteocalcin.*
• Promotes cardiovascular health – Inhibits calcium deposition in arterial walls via MGP activation.*
• Works with vitamin D – Directs calcium where it's needed most.*
• High potency – Triple-strength 300mcg for those with higher needs.
• Long-lasting activity – MK-7 stays active up to 24 hours for once-daily convenience.

*Always read the label and follow directions for use.

Understanding Vitamin K2 and MK-7

Vitamin K exists as K1 (from leafy greens) and K2 (from fermented foods and animal products). K2 has several subtypes, but MK-7 is the most researched for bone and heart health. Unlike MK-4, which leaves the body quickly, MK-7 lingers for up to a day, making a single daily serving effective. This product uses the MK-7 form, delivering 300mcg per vegie capsule—triple the usual maintenance dose. It's ideal for those wanting to optimize calcium metabolism.

Who May Benefit from Vitamin K2 Supplementation?

This supplement is especially handy for folks who:

• Don't eat a lot of fermented foods like cheese or sauerkraut.
• Take vitamin D supplements and want to guide calcium to bones.
• Worry about bone density as they get older.
• Want natural support for their heart and blood vessels.
• Follow a vegetarian or vegan diet (MK-7 here is suitable for vegetarians).

Many users find it slots easily into their daily routine and appreciate its role in calcium absorption.

Choosing a Quality Vitamin K2 Supplement

When picking a vitamin K2 supplement, look for the MK-7 form, a decent dosage, and purity. This product from The Vitamin Shoppe undergoes rigorous third-party testing for potency and purity—so you know what you're getting. The vegetarian capsules are made with quality ingredients, and the formula is straightforward without unnecessary fillers. Clear labelling of menaquinone-7 is a good sign, and this one ticks all boxes.

Recommended Dosage and Usage

Each bottle has 60 vegetarian capsules, a two-month supply at one capsule daily. The 300mcg dose is triple strength compared to standard 100mcg options. For best absorption, take it with a meal containing fat—vitamin K2 is fat-soluble. Consistency matters; daily use keeps levels steady. Always follow the label and chat with your healthcare professional before starting, especially if you're on blood-thinning meds like warfarin.

Safety and Side Effects

Vitamin K2 is generally well tolerated with few side effects at recommended doses. Because it affects blood clotting, people on anticoagulants should get medical advise first. The daily value for vitamin K is not set, but 300mcg is considered a high yet safe dose for most adults. If you experience any odd symptoms, stop and see a doc. Pregnant or nursing women should also seek advise before supplementing.

Always read the label and follow directions for use.
