Produced from fermented chickpeas by CO2 extraction, vitamin K2 supports bone and heart health. Thanks to its high bioavailability, MK-7 is comparatively the most effective form. It’s available in three different product forms.
Suitable for vegan and vegetarian concepts
Vitamin K2 is found in small amounts in animal products such as meat, eggs, milk and butter. Some fermented foods e.g. sauerkraut and cheese also contain K2. Vegan and vegetarian product concepts can be ideally supplemented with natural K2 from fermentation.
Benefits of vitamin K2 for human health
The enzyme osteocalcin stores calcium in the bones and contributes to healthy bones. Endogenous or supplemented vitamin D3 also require K2 for optimal function. With the help of K2, the matrix Gla protein (MGP) keeps the arteries and circulation free of calcium deposits.
As menaquinone-7 (MK-7), K2 with the long side chain has a high bioavailability. The EFSA (European Food Safety Authority) states that MK-7 is the most effective form compared to the other variants.
It is produced by fermentation of chickpeas and CO2 extraction with an isomeric purity of over 99%, significantly exceeding the USP requirements (>96%).
Vitamin K2 is available in three different forms:
| Product | Vitamin K2 content | Package size |
|---|---|---|
| MK-7 powder | 0.2% and 1% | 1 kg, 5 kg and 20 kg |
