MK-7 is a naturally occurring form of vitamin K2 known as menaquinone-7. It is widely used in premium food supplements and is the form used throughout Strength & Spices formulas.
Why do you use MK-7 instead of MK-4?
Vitamin K2 is available in several forms, including MK-4 and MK-7. We use MK-7 because it is a well-established form commonly selected for premium food supplements and works well alongside vitamin D3 in our formulations.
What foods naturally contain vitamin K?
