Life Extension Jarrow Formulas MK-7 Softgels

Life Extension Jarrow Formulas MK-7 Softgels - Vitamin K2 (menaquinones) is found in meat, eggs, and dairy products and is made by bacteria in the human gut, which provides a certain amount of the human vitamin K requirement. Vitamin K2 remains biologically active in the body far longer than K1. In contrast with the MK-4 form of vitamin K2, MK-7 is absorbed more slowly and is available to the body for longer and at higher levels. Vitamin K functions as a cofactor for an enzyme responsible for carboxylation of specific bone proteins such as osteocalcin and matrix Gla protein (MGP), an inhibitor of vascular calcification.
