Vitamin K2 MK-7 - Cardiovascular Health, Strong Bones and Optimal Circulation - Advanced Supplement with Natural Menaquinone from Natto for Balance and Longevity

Vitamin K2 MK-7, 120 mcg from Natural Factors is a premium dietary supplement, formulated to support cardiovascular health, bone density and metabolic balance by providing the superior and biologically active form of vitamin K2 - menaquinone-7 (MK-7), naturally derived from fermented natto beans. This form of vitamin K is recognized for its high bioavailability and long duration of activity in the body, making it essential for calcium regulation, activation of vitamin K-dependent proteins, and maintaining proper functioning of the circulatory and skeletal systems.

Vitamin K2, in its active MK-7 form, plays a crucial role in activating proteins involved in transporting and directing calcium in the body. Without adequate K2, calcium tends to deposit in arteries and soft tissues instead of reaching the bones, where it is actually needed. Supplementation with MK-7 supports not only bones and teeth, but also arterial health, cognitive functions, and overall longevity.


 

Detailed Benefits of Vitamin K2 MK-7, 120 mcg, Natural Factors

 

• Promoting cardiovascular health and preventing arterial calcification

One of the most important and documented benefits of vitamin K2, especially the MK-7 form, is the protection of the heart and vascular system. MK-7 activates a protein called matrix GLA protein (MGP), which has the role of preventing calcium accumulation in blood vessel walls and arteries.

Without sufficient vitamin K2, circulating calcium can be deposited in arteries, contributing to their stiffening and increasing the risk of:

• Hypertension

• Atherosclerosis

• Cardiovascular disease

• Coronary events

By activating MGP, MK-7 helps remove calcium from blood vessel walls, thus preventing arterial stiffening and supporting vascular elasticity. This effect leads to:
✓ Improved blood flow
✓ Balanced blood pressure
✓ Reduced risk of vascular calcification
✓ Long-term protection of the heart and blood vessels

Thus, Vitamin K2 MK-7 is considered an essential ally for maintaining a healthy cardiovascular system, especially in the context of a calcium-rich diet or advanced age.

 

• Strengthening bones and preventing osteoporosis

Vitamin K2 is vital for activating osteocalcin, a protein produced by osteoblasts (bone-forming cells) that binds calcium to the bone matrix. In the absence of K2, osteocalcin remains inactive, and calcium cannot be efficiently used for strengthening the skeleton.

Vitamin K2 deficiency can lead to:

• Decreased bone mineral density

• Bone fragility

• Increased risk of fractures and osteoporosis

By providing an optimal dose of MK-7, this supplement supports:
✓ Proper bone mineralization
✓ Increased bone strength
✓ Efficient calcium fixation in the skeletal system
✓ Reduction of age-related bone loss

For older people, postmenopausal women, or those at risk of osteopenia, Vitamin K2 MK-7 becomes a fundamental element of a complete protocol for maintaining bone mass.

 

• Optimal calcium direction in the body

One of the most subtle and important roles of vitamin K2 is that of a "metabolic guide" for calcium, ensuring that this essential mineral is delivered where it is needed - in bones and teeth - and not in soft tissues or blood vessels.

The imbalance between calcium intake and vitamin K2 level can lead to:

• Abnormal calcifications (arterial, renal)

• Joint problems

• Cardiovascular dysfunctions

By activating osteocalcin and MGP, MK-7 maintains a healthy balance between calcium use for bone structure and prevention of deposition in unwanted areas.
✓ Maximizing the efficiency of calcium supplements
✓ Supporting the harmonious functioning of the skeletal and circulatory systems
✓ Preventing pathological calcifications

This fine regulation mechanism of calcium is an essential reason why vitamin K2 MK-7 is recommended in all formulas that include vitamin D3 and calcium.

 

• Dental health and tooth mineralization

Another emerging area of interest for vitamin K2 is oral health. Through the same mechanisms involved in bone health, MK-7 contributes to maintaining dental enamel and preventing demineralization. Activation of osteocalcin supports dental structure and combats mineral loss caused by unbalanced diets or acidification of the oral cavity.

Benefits for dental health include:
✓ Stronger and well-mineralized teeth
✓ Prevention of cavities and gingival recession
✓ Supporting bone regeneration at the jaw level

 

• Reducing systemic inflammation and oxidative stress

In addition to its direct roles in calcium metabolism, MK-7 has also proven useful in reducing low-grade chronic inflammation, a major factor in degenerative diseases, premature aging, and metabolic dysfunction.

Studies show that vitamin K2 can:
✓ Inhibit the expression of inflammatory markers such as CRP (C-reactive protein)
✓ Protect endothelial cells against oxidative damage
✓ Contribute to general immune balance

These indirect effects contribute to:

• Supporting long-term vascular and bone health

• Improving overall well-being

• Preventing age-related degenerative processes

 

• Supporting cognitive function and brain health

Recent research data suggests that vitamin K2 might also have a role in neurocognitive health, through its participation in the synthesis of specific lipids in the nervous system and protection of neurons against oxidative stress.

MK-7 can:
✓ Support phospholipid metabolism in the brain
✓ Protect neural structures against intracellular calcium accumulation
✓ Contribute to maintaining mental clarity and cognitive functions

 

• Natural form with high bioavailability - Menaquinone-7 from natto

An essential aspect that differentiates this product is its natural source: MK-7 extracted from natto, a traditional Japanese source of vitamin K2. This form is:

• Very stable and biologically active

• Efficiently absorbed in the body

• With extended duration of action (over 24 hours)

Thus, unlike other forms of vitamin K, MK-7 remains active in the body for a longer time, allowing sustained activation of vitamin K-dependent proteins and increased efficiency in preventing calcifications and strengthening bones.
