Vitamin K2
“Vitamin K” is a term used to represent a group of chemically similar fat-soluble compounds that differ in their origin and function. In this regard, the main form of vitamin K, which is also considered the best source, is menaquinone 7 (vitamin K2).
A bit about Vitamin K2
“Vitamin K” is a term used to represent a group of chemically similar fat-soluble compounds that differ in their origin and function. In this regard, the main form of vitamin K, which is also considered the best source, is menaquinone 7 (vitamin K2).
The primary source of vitamin K2 is Natto, a popular Japanese food rich in enzymes that aid digestion (nattokinase). It is a compound produced only in the trans form through the natural fermentation of boiled soybeans by the action of a specific bacterium, Bacillus subtilis spp. natto, and contains approximately 1,000 μg of MK7 (menaquinone 7) per 100 g.
Its main functions
In its MK7 form, vitamin K2 is essential for blood clotting and plays an important role in calcium absorption and bone formation.
Vitamin K deficiency — especially a lack of vitamin K2 — can result in a phenomenon known as the “calcium paradox,” where very little calcium remains in weak bones, while excess of this mineral accumulates in the arteries, making them stiff and non-elastic.
In conjunction with vitamin D, Natomenna® (MK7) contributes to better calcium transport and absorption by the bones.
