Meet Vitamin K2 - the one your multivitamin probably forgot

Vitamin K is a fat-soluble vitamin best known for its role in healthy blood coagulation - but that's just the beginning of its story. The Vitamin K family is actually split into two main forms: K1 (phylloquinone), found in leafy greens, and K2 (menaquinones), found in fermented foods like Japanese natto. While both forms matter, K2 is the real hero when it comes to bone and cardiovascular wellbeing - and it's the one most of us don't get enough of in a modern Western diet.

Why MK-7?

Within the K2 family, MK-7 is the gold standard. Its longer molecular side chain means it stays in the bloodstream significantly longer than other forms of Vitamin K so a daily dose goes further, and the body can make better use of it. MK-7 is also the form naturally produced during fermentation, and it's been shown to be more effective than K1 or synthetic MK-7 at activating the specialised proteins the body relies on for bone and vascular health. MenaQ7® - the MK-7 featured in this formula - is purified from fermented chickpeas and manufactured in a government-inspected Japanese facility with every batch verified for potency and purity.

What's the connection between K2 and calcium?

Here's where K2 really shines. Calcium is essential for bones, but it only does its job properly when it ends up in the right place. Vitamin K2 activates two key proteins in the body - osteocalcin and matrix Gla protein (MGP) - which act like traffic directors for calcium. Osteocalcin helps deposit calcium into bones, while MGP helps keep calcium out of soft tissues and blood vessels where it doesn't belong. Without adequate Vitamin K2, this calcium-directing system doesn't function at its best. This is why Vitamin K2 is increasingly recognised as the perfect nutritional partner to calcium and Vitamin D for all-round bone and cardiovascular wellbeing.

Who might benefit from a daily K2 top-up?

• Adults looking to support bone health as part of a proactive wellbeing routine
  
• Women navigating the perimenopausal and postmenopausal years
  
• Anyone taking a calcium or Vitamin D supplement - K2 completes the trio
  
• Those following a diet low in fermented foods like natto, sauerkraut or aged cheese
  
• Adults wanting to support cardiovascular and vascular wellbeing
