Ingredient
MenaQ7®
The Bone & Heart Health Vitamin
A patented, clinically validated form of vitamin K2 (menaquinone-7) that regulates calcium by directing it into bones and away from arteries.
What is MenaQ7® Good For?
MenaQ7® activates vitamin K-dependent proteins that regulate calcium utilisation. By ensuring calcium is deposited in bones rather than arteries, it promotes bone structure formation and cardiovascular health.
Potential benefits of supplementation
- Increased bone mineral density and strength
- Reduced arterial stiffness that might decrease the risk of cardiovascular conditions
- Reduced risk of arterial calcification
- Improved vitamin K status
What is Vitamin K2 (MenaQ7®)?
Vitamin K2 functions differently from K1. While K1 acts as a cofactor for blood clotting, K2 (particularly MK-7) activates osteocalcin and matrix Gla protein (MGP), both critical regulators of calcium metabolism and distribution.
Recommended Daily Dose
75 µg
Clinical studies support 75 µg per day as effective for bone and cardiovascular benefits, aligning with widely used supplemental doses across the EU and global markets.

Your Questions About MenaQ7®
What is MenaQ7®?
It's the patented, clinically proven form of vitamin K2 (MK-7), designed to improve bone and heart health.
What are the benefits of MenaQ7®?
It strengthens bones, protects arteries, and works with vitamin D3 for calcium regulation.
How is MenaQ7® different from vitamin K1?
Vitamin K1 is used mainly for clotting, while MenaQ7® (K2) regulates calcium metabolism for skeletal and cardiovascular benefits.
Are there any side effects?
Vitamin K2 is safe at recommended doses. Those on anticoagulant therapy should consult their doctor before supplementing.
Can MenaQ7® be combined with other nutrients?
Yes, it is often paired with vitamin D3, calcium, and magnesium in bone health formulations.
