Vitals Vitamin K2 90 mcg

MK-7, the superior form of vitamin K2
This product contains 90 μg of vitamin K2 in the form of menaquinone-7 (MK-7). Vitamin K2, or menaquinone (abbreviated MK), comes in various forms, the most well-known being MK-4, MK-7, MK-8, and MK-9. The number mentioned after 'MK' refers to the length of the side chain in the molecule. According to the current scientific understanding, menaquinone-7 (MK-7) is the most effective form of vitamin K2. MK-7 is excellently absorbed and remains in the body for a very long time to be effective, thanks to its long half-life. This means that relatively low doses of MK-7 can be sufficient for optimal efficacy.

K2VITAL™ DELTA from Balchem
Vitamin K2 is known to be very unstable. In combination with minerals or certain excipients, the vitamin K2 content in a product can rapidly decrease. This is, of course, highly undesirable, as you want to be able to store a supplement for its entire shelf life. The Norwegian producer Balchem has developed a vitamin K2 raw material that is very well protected against external influences. Through a patented micro-encapsulation process, the K2 is fully encapsulated, guaranteeing its stability even in products with aggressive mineral compounds. Vitals has selected K2VITAL™ DELTA as the best vitamin K2 raw material after extensive stability tests with various K2 raw materials in different compositions.

Trans-form versus cis-form
MK-7 occurs in two forms (isomers): the natural trans-form and the synthetic cis-form. The body can only process the natural trans-form, just as MK-7 occurs in food. The trans-form is therefore considered by scientists to be the only biologically active form of MK-7. The cis-form, on the other hand, does not occur in nature and is not effective, and could possibly even cause an unnecessary burden on the body. This Vitals product contains more than 99.7% of the natural trans-form.

Sources of vitamin K2
MK-7 is produced by certain bacteria during fermentation and is naturally found mainly in natto, a Japanese dish consisting of fermented soy. Natto has a strong, characteristic taste and is therefore not very popular in Western cuisine. Other menaquinones, such as MK-8 and MK-9, occur in smaller quantities, particularly in quark and hard cheeses.
