Description Of Vitamin K2 MK7
Vitamin K2 MK7 (also known as vitamin K27, MK7 comes from menaquinone 7) is widely considered the most effective form of vitamin K2 and a member of the vitamin K family. Of all the K2 vitamins, vitamin K2-MK7 is more easily absorbed and remains active longer.
It is a naturally occurring form of the vitamin found primarily in animal products and fermented foods. The "7" in MK-7 refers to the number of isoprenyl units on its side chain, which is essential for the biological activity of vitamin K2.
Vitamin K2 is required to activate osteocalcin, a protein that transports and incorporates calcium into bones to ensure bone health. Incorporating calcium into the bone matrix means less calcium is available for harmful deposition in soft tissues. The general population does not get enough dietary intake of vitamin K2, which can promote bone health.

Molecular Structure Of Vitamin K2 MK7
Characteristics of Vitamin K2 MK7
1. Side chain length and bioavailability
Vitamin K2 MK7 has a long side chain, which allows it to exist in the human body for a longer time, thus having a higher bioavailability in extrahepatic tissues.
2. Biological activity and efficacy
Vitamin K2 (MK-7) has high biological activity and is widely used in the treatment and improvement of various health problems, including osteoporosis and improvement of arterial calcification.
3. Distribution and transportation
Vitamin K2 MK7 requires low-density lipoprotein for transportation and is mainly distributed in extrahepatic tissues such as kidneys, pancreas, bones, genitals and blood vessel walls.
Benefits Of Vitamin K2 MK7
Maintain the activity of coagulation factors
Vitamin K2 is a fat-soluble vitamin that participates in the synthesis of multiple coagulation factors in the body. MK-7, as an active form of vitamin K, can participate in this process more effectively and maintain the health of the blood system.
Promote bone growth and development
Vitamin K2MK7 can promote the normal growth and development of bones and has a positive effect on bone health. It participates in the formation and maintenance of bones, helps increase bone density and reduces the risk of osteoporosis. In addition, vitamin K2MK7 can also achieve the effect of calcium supplementation to a certain extent, which is beneficial to the body.
Maintain cardiovascular health
Vitamin K2MK7 can protect vascular endothelial cells and inhibit platelet aggregation. It can promote the normal metabolism of calcium ions in blood vessels and prevent calcium ions from depositing on the blood vessel wall, thereby reducing the risk of arteriosclerosis and cardiovascular disease. Especially for people with hypertension and hyperlipidemia, proper supplementation of vitamin K2MK7 can effectively maintain cardiovascular health.
Prevent osteoporosis
Since vitamin K2 is one of the important coenzymes in bone metabolism, supplementing vitamin K2MK7 can prevent the occurrence of osteoporosis to a certain extent and help maintain bone health.
Assist in lowering cholesterol levels
Vitamin K2MK7 can combine with cholesterol in the liver to form bile salts and excrete them out of the body, thereby helping to lower cholesterol levels.
Vitamin K2MK7 Uses
Food
Vitamin K2 MK7 is also often used as a food additive to improve the nutritional value and health function of food. It can be added to various foods, such as beverages, dairy products, bread, etc., to meet people's demand for healthy food.
Health products
1. Bone health products
Due to the positive effect of vitamin K2 MK7 on bone health, it is often used to develop bone health products. These products can help people maintain bone health and prevent bone diseases such as osteoporosis.
2. Cardiovascular health products
The cardiovascular protective effect of vitamin K2 MK7 also makes it an important ingredient in cardiovascular health products. These products can help maintain cardiovascular health and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.
Medicine
1. Bone health
Vitamin K2 MK7 plays an important role in bone health. It can effectively prevent osteoporosis, increase bone density and reduce the risk of fractures by promoting the activation of osteocalcin and bone formation.
2. Cardiovascular health
Vitamin K2 MK7 can prevent the formation of calcification foci in blood vessels and reduce the risk of arteriosclerosis and cardiovascular disease. By participating in the process of maintaining heart health, MK-7 plays an important role in preventing heart attacks and strokes.
3. Blood coagulation
As an active form of vitamin K, MK-7 is essential for the blood coagulation process. It participates in the synthesis of blood coagulation factors and helps maintain normal coagulation function.
Note
1. Excessive intake
Although vitamin K is a water-soluble vitamin, excessive intake may also cause adverse reactions such as diarrhea, nausea, etc. Therefore, when supplementing vitamin K2, you should pay attention to taking it according to the recommended dose.
2. Drug interactions
Vitamin K2 may interact with certain drugs. Therefore, when taking these drugs, you should consult your doctor or pharmacist whether you can take vitamin K2 at the same time.
