Product information for Vitals Vitamine K2 90 mcg : Application of Vitals Vitamine K2 90 mcg : MK-7, the superior form of Vitamin K2 This product contains 90 mcg of Vitamin K2 in the form of Menaquinone-7 (MK-7). Vitamin K2, also known as Menaquinone (abbreviated MK), comes in various forms, the most common of which are MK-4, MK-7, MK-8, and MK-9. The number after "MK" refers to the length of the side chain in the molecule. According to current scientific research, Menaquinone-7 (MK-7) is the most effective form of Vitamin K2. MK-7 is highly absorbed and remains active in the body for a very long time, thanks to its long half-life. Therefore, relatively low doses of MK-7 are sufficient for optimal efficacy. How Vitamin K Works The most well-known function of vitamin K in the body is its contribution to normal blood clotting. Vitamin K activates certain vitamin K-dependent blood clotting factors that ensure optimal blood clotting—meaning it is neither too strong nor too weak. It also contributes to the absorption of calcium into the bones. Vitamin K is a coenzyme required for the carboxylation (activation) of certain Gla proteins, converting glutamic acid (Glu) into ?-carboxyglutamic acid (Gla). ✓Helps with normal blood clotting ✓Contributes to the absorption of calcium in the bones and helps keep them strongComposition of Vitals Vitamine K2 90 mcg : Each capsule (= daily dose) contains: Vitamin K2 (Menaquinone-7, K2VITAL™ DELTA) 90 mcg K2VITAL™ is a trademark of Balchem Corporation or its subsidiaries.Ingredients of Vitals Vitamine K2 90 mcg : Rice flour (Oryza sativa), vegetable capsule (pullulan, from fermented cassava starch), vitamin K2.This product is free from: Gluten, lactose, soy, GMO, preservatives and synthetic fragrances, colours and flavours.
