Low-Dose Vitamin K2 contains the menaquinone-7 (MK7) form of vitamin K2, which metabolizes slowly. This makes MK7 more available to provide a more consistent supply of vitamin K to the body.

What Is Low Dose Vitamin K2?
Vitamin K is essential for heart health because it helps facilitate the transport of calcium out of the bloodstream. This is done via calcium-regulating proteins in the arteries, which require vitamin K to work.
Research shows that high intakes of vitamin K2 correspond with better arterial health.
Low Dose Vitamin K2 Benefits
- Supports cardiovascular health
- Vitamin K2 remains biologically active in the body longer than other K forms
- Excellent alternative to diet-based K2 sources such as milk, eggs, cheese and fish
Limits to Dietary Vitamin K Intake
Studies show it’s difficult to rely on diet alone to supply all forms of vitamin K. For instance, vitamin K2 in its highest concentrations are often found in foods high in saturated fat. You would have to consume large amounts of cheese to get the optimal K2 levels that are supported by human clinical trials. And low-fat versions of these foods often have much less vitamin K2 content.

Vitamin K is required by matrix Gla-protein (MGP) and other calcium-regulating proteins in your arteries. MGP needs vitamin K to function properly. Without sufficient vitamin K, inactive MGP can build up in your arteries, allowing calcium to bind to the arterial wall.1
